In this edition of Alumni Spotlight, Packers.com Senior Writer Mike Spofford sat down with former Packers punter Josh Bidwell. Bidwell talks about being drafted by the Packers, being diagnosed with testicular cancer, and recovering to become the team’s punter.
Drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the fourth round of the 1999 draft, Josh Bidwell spent four seasons with the team and holds the record for most consecutive punts without a block, with 308. A very effective punter in helping out his coverage teams, his 35.5-yard career net average ranks third in team annals. Equally dangerous as a placement punter, his 85 career punts inside the 20 rank third in Packers history.
