Former Kentucky punter Tim Masthay is in a battle for his starting job with the Green Bay Packers heading into the NFL season.
Masthay has been fighting with rookie punter Cody Mandall from Alabama, but the former Wildcat seems to have one major advantage…his hands.
Scout.com explains how a battle of punters might actually be won by Masthay’s hands:
In three days of live kicking, Crosby is 14-of-14 on field goals with Masthay holding compared to 6-of-9 (not including a block) with Mandell. On Thursday, Crosby made all six attempts with Masthay and Mandell alternating reps.
