Packers Quietly Locked Down Punter Position in 2017

The punter position has produced some… unfortunate highlights in the recent past for the Packers.

Tim Masthay held the position from 2010 through 2015 in Green Bay. While he had a solid start to his career, he became progressively worse, especially in the final couple years in Green Bay when he would routinely shank kicks and be a liability to the Packers in the field position game. He was released after 2015, a year in which the #CutMasthay tweets were only second to the #CutAdams tweets.

In 2016, the Packers signed Jacob Schum, who was coming off a rookie season in which he was one of the league’s worst punters for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
