Lost amidst the 49ers' dominant defense and their all-star platoon of skill position players has been the finest performance we have seen from a 49ers punter in over a decade. Not since Andy Lee’s first team, all-pro selection in 2012, have the 49ers had as dominant of a season from the punter position as what we’ve seen from Mitch Wishnowsky this season.
That’s right, the punter from down under, the man who John Lynch and Co. believed in enough to invest a fourth-round pick in, is proving that perhaps the front office wasn’t as off base as many made them out to be when they selected the Australian back in 2019.
