Notre Dame football fans likely recall the days of Irish football with Tyler Newsome as their punter with great fondness. Armed with a sick flowing mullet and a howitzer for a right leg Newsome was a special teams weapon.
Newsome is one of the better punters in a storied Notre Dame football history, after averaging 44 yards per punt in his collegiate career. Overall, Newsome would amass over 9,900 punt yards in his Notre Dame career. In addition to a solid college career, he wowed NFL scouts last year at the combine when he had 30 reps of 225-pounds in the bench press event, an impressive feat for any player, especially a punter.
