Wishnowsky was drafted by San Francisco back in 2019 in the fourth round of the NFL Draft and was a solid punter for a long time with the Niners. The Australian had some very memorable moments in the red and gold like when he made a gritty rugby-style tackle on a kickoff or when he went rogue and did a fake punt on his own back in 2023.
