It wasn’t too long ago that Chris Jones, affectionately nicknamed the Puntisher, for good reason, was one of the most underrated punters in the NFL. But injuries hampered Jones’ ability to give the Cowboys defense good field position over the last two years. It came to a head during the 2020 season, when Jones was placed on injured reserve and Hunter Niswander stepped in to finish the season.
Niswander was a relative unknown at the time, and still is; most fans preferred the Cowboys sign Marquette King instead, but quickly changed their tune after seeing Niswander in action.
