Teasdall has 'leg up' on last year

Andy Teasdall had big shoes to fill when he stepped into the starting punter role for Clemson last season.

A redshirt junior at this time a year ago, Teasdall was preparing to replace Bradley Pinion, who was drafted in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers following an outstanding Clemson career. Pinion broke the single-season school record for punts inside the 20-yard line with 28 in 2015, and finished his career seventh in school history in punting average (41.1 yards).

Taking over for Pinion was a tall task for Teasdall, but he proved to be up for the challenge.
