If that’s the case, why allow one aspect of your team to anchor yourself to the ground?
Last year, Tim Masthay had one of his worst seasons as a punter. And that was coming off a season in which he had two punts blocked.
That prompted the Packers to make a lukewarm effort by bringing in undrafted rookie free agent Peter Mortell to compete with Masthay. Mortell grew up in the shadow of Lambeau Field and played high school ball at Green Bay’s Notre Dame Academy. His career 44-yard average is No. 1 in the University of Minnesota record book.
