The Pittsburgh Steelers debuted Corliss Waitman Sunday, their second punter of the season, due to the unfortunate season-ending injury to their starter, Cameron Johnston. They gave Johnston a three-year, $9 million contract to make them forget about their punting problems, which didn’t last long. So how did Waitman make out in his first game of the season with the Steelers?
Well, not great, at least not overall. As had been an issue, he put too many punts into the end zone for touchbacks. Actually, his three touchbacks on Sunday on eight punts are already tied for the most in the NFL.
