Do the Vikings Have a Punting Problem?

During the offseason, Minnesota decided to forego a punter competition. Do the Vikings regret that decision?

Incumbent Ryan Wright — nicknamed Mr. Wright & The Stallion by special teams coordinator Matt Daniels — was coming off of an impressive rookie season. An UDFA, Wright proved superior to the veteran Jordan Berry, forcing Minnesota to give him a roster spot in 2022. In the end, the decision looked prudent; Wright averaged 47.4 yards per punt while being responsible for just a single, lonely touchback.
