Well, ladies and gentlemen, it seems that the whole ‘give a punter more than a year to actually grow and develop’ oddball strategy is paying early dividends, as second-year punter Jordan Berry is off to a pretty good start for the 2016 season with the Pittsburgh Steelers after winning the job over Brad Wing during training camp, who was subsequently traded to the Giants.
Through two games, Berry has punted 10 times, averaging 48.4 gross yards per punt, and 42.8 net yards per punt. Both are significant improvements over his 2015 numbers—42.
