FORT COLLINS — The guys with the ball in their hands are the easiest ones to spot.
The running back busting off a big run, breaking tackles. A receiver who can take a short pass, juke would-be tacklers and take it the length of the field. They're even on defense, those who blow up plays and move offenses backwards, defenders who are ballhawks and create turnovers.
They are the playmakers — the weapons — who make teams explosive and change the tide of a game.
But how about a punter?
