Tress Way Confident, Feeling A Difference This Year

A late addition to the preseason roster last year, Tress Way is not only the team's only punter, he's an important weapon in pinning opponent's deep in their own territory.

At Oklahoma, Tress Way was one of a few punters on the roster. During his two stints on the Chicago Bears’ roster, he challenged for punting duties with Adam Podlesh and Pat O’Donnell, but did not beat either out for the job.

And during his first few weeks with the Redskins last season, Way battled for a roster spot with Robert Malone.

So after eventually beating out Malone for the team’s punter job -- perhaps in one of the more surprising roster decisions made all preseason -- Way cashed in on the organization's choice by turning in one of the best punting performances in team history.
