It’s a moment I’ve been waiting years for. While Corliss Waitman has plenty of work to do, he could end the season holding a Pittsburgh Steelers record. In this modern era and golden age of specialists, the Steelers have a long-standing record. The record-holder for highest gross punting average for a season occurred in 1961 when Bobby Joe Green – the Steelers’ other “Joe Green” – set the record, averaging 47.0 yards per boot. It’s a mark that still stands atop the podium today.
Here’s the current leaderboard for an entire season (minimum 20 punts).
| Player (Year) | Gross Average |
|---|---|
| Bobby Joe Green (1961) | 47. |
