Back in 2017, when Cameron Johnston signed with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent, I long called for the Australian out of Ohio State to be the next franchise punter. Now, I don’t seem as crazy.
We don’t really talk about punting enough — in part because the mark of a good team is not having to do it very often. But, having someone on the sideline you can rely on to pin the opponent deep down the field is extremely important, especially if you’re struggling in other phases of the game.
