'It was kind of a freak thing.' Bengals punter Drue Chrisman returns to training camp

One position battle to watch this summer as the Cincinnati Bengals conduct training camp is on special teams.

Kevin Huber, the franchise's all-time leader in games played, had the punter position for over a decade until last year's bye week when Ohio State product and Lawrenceburg native Drue Chrisman took over.

Chrisman was expected to compete with rookie Brad Robbins, a sixth-round pick out of Michigan, but that battle was put on hold when the Bengals opened training camp July 26.
