Jamie Gillan entered into Cleveland Browns lore very early on. A nickname like “The Scottish Hammer” doesn’t usually go with a punter.
And yet, Gillan has been nothing short of stellar for the Dawg Pound, proving that the Browns made a great choice going with him over their veteran punter, Britton Colquitt after the preseason.
Gillan’s potential was evident from the start, with a booming 74-yard punt in Cleveland’s second preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts. That punt went a long way in sealing the Hammer’s spot on the Browns’ 53-man roster, and caught the eyes of Browns fans at large.
