Texas Football in the NFL: Former Longhorn punter Michael Dickson a likely Pro Bowler

This NFL season could not have started out better for the former Texas football punter Michael Dickson through two weeks. His pro career has now featured a punting average of more than 50 yards, a dropkick for a kick-off, and a dropkick for an onside kick. The start of his career was about as exciting as it could get for Dickson.

The NFL regular season got off to a rough start for the team that selected Dickson in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks. A Monday Night Football loss to the Chicago Bears marked the second straight defeat for the Seahawks this season.
