Packers: Drafting J.K. Scott a move that will pay off

Many fans thought that the punter position was set after last season with Justin Vogel having a solid year. All that changed on the third day of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Scott got his start in football in his hometown of Denver, Colorado playing high school ball at Mullen High School. He averaged 39.9 yards per punt and had a long of 61 yards. After graduating in 2014, he joined the University of Alabama.

Some thought that going from the Mile High City and its thin air to sea level Alabama would diminish some of his game, but he proved them wrong.
