Jordan Berry Hoping To Be Steelers’ Solution To Punter Problem

The Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t had a ton of stability at the punter position over for course of this decade. While the fact that they have managed to get through an entire season with the same player the last two years is a sad sign of improvement, the fact of the matter is that, since the start of the 2011 season, the team has employed seven different punters in a five-year span.

First-year Australian punter Jordan Berry has been the most recent, after ‘winning’ a preseason competition with incumbent then-second-year punter Australian punter Brad Wing, who was the successor to veteran Australian punter Mat McBriar, who was signed mid-season following the struggles of veteran non-Australian punter Zoltan Mesko, who was claimed off waivers after the final roster cuts to replace then-second-year incumbent punter Drew Butler, who also happened not to be Australian.
