It might not seem like it, but a few years ago punter Chris Jones was revered as a prize commodity for this football team. So much so that the Dallas Cowboys signed him to a four-year, $8.7 million contract extension in 2017. And this re-upping in Jones wasn’t because of his puntishing tackling skills.

Believe it or not, the veteran punter was one of the best in the businesses at pinning opponents inside their own 20-yard line.
