Kickers and punters are football players too. Just ask our friend Satchel Ziffer, a former specialist for Old Dominion and one of our pawdcast personalities we have at Underdog Dynasty.
These guys often get overlooked, but are repeatedly the difference between a win and loss. Former Memphis Tigers kicker Jake Elliott broke several records when he hit a 61-yard, walk-off field goal for the Eagles last season. They also get all the blame when what most would consider a “chip shot” ends up costing them the game.
Punters are passed over even more, but their impact on the game is equally important.
