Danny Smith Says Draft Status Doesn’t Affect Punting Battle; ‘I Think We’ve Got Two NFL Punters In This Camp’

The Pittsburgh Steelers will have several difficult decisions to make by the end of the preseason, in terms of who wins what job, and even who is on the roster. Sometimes a specific job and a roster spot go hand-in-hand, like the specialist positions, and one of the team’s most hotly-contested battles during training camp this year has been at punter.

While incumbent Jordan Berry, having already been cut a year ago, has to be considered on thin ice, the addition of a seventh-round draft pick as his competition for the Summer, according to special teams coordinator Danny Smith, doesn’t throw any added weight into Pressley Harvin III’s column—not that he needs any.
