Before the year concluded punter Jamie Gillan was gone, kick returner JoJo Natson was on IR for most of the season, kicker Chase McLaughlin began the year red hot and ended up last in field goal completion percentage while assistant Special Teams coach Doug Colman was let go.
With Gillan gone, the club brought in several free agent punters for a tryout and settled on 19-year veteran Dustin Colquitt who played just five games.
GM Andrew Berry knew that Colquitt wasn’t the long-term answer, and sought out a viable replacement.
