With one game behind us, it is time for our first regular season breakdown of San Francisco 49ers punter Bradley Pinion.
One of the San Francisco 49ers many stories this offseason was the decision to draft punter Bradley Pinion in the fifth round, and subsequently trade Andy Lee to the Cleveland Browns. The Pinion selection caught most of us off-guard, and had us keeping a closer eye on the punter position during the preseason. Pinion did not have the greatest preseason campaign, finishing 35th in gross average (43.8), and 22nd in net average (39.3). He was tied for 15th with five punts inside the 20 (on a league-leading 27 punts), and tied for 6th with five fair catches.
