He's a good athlete as well, and he's been to my house before (sister goes to BC so mutual friends) and he seem's pretty cool.

2 fantastic catches tonight. I thought he was a punter? Looks like McCulloch.
I would never join a club that would accept me as a member.
Punting takes a lot of athletic ability, not a lot of good punters who aren't also very good athletes. Some are skinny enough or small enough that you wouldn't want them playing a regular position but quite a few have been good enough that they could have.
Way back Billy Van Huesen was the punter for the Broncos and also a starting WR. Later Ray Guy who may have been the best punter ever to play was also an All-American safety in college, Reggie Roby who was an all-pro punter hit a couple of punt returners hard enough to put them out of the game in his career.
At CU, Barry Helton actually came to the Buffs as a QB and coaches said that he was a good enough athlete that he could have started as a position player but was to valuable as a punter to risk.
I think you might be serious, but if this is sarcasm then I totally agree.
Ditto that. Very few kickers or punters at D1 or NFL are very athletic but there are exceptions. In high school the best athlete might be the punter. After that it gets more specialized. On college and pro TD return highlights most of the time the last scene is a kicker hopelessly flailing.
Punters are much better athletes than Kickers, as a general rule.
I would bet on Sebastian Janikowski against Garo Yepremian in a cage match any day, as a general rule.
No sarcasm at all. A lot of placekickers have a gross lack of athletic ability. Guys like the Yepremians of the world or Janakowski now could arguably do nothing athletic except kick a football placed in front of their foot.
The act of punting on the other hand requires a level of coordination and full body involvement that requires a pretty high level of athletic ability. There have been some exceptions but in general athletic ability I would argue that most punters are pretty good athletes. They may not be big enough and have the overall strength to play other positions but many are good at other sports.
Punting is elementary. Catch the snap, take your approach and kick the ball. The pressure is all that has to be dealt with. Full body involvement is usually reserved for manic sex. I suspect you are shorter than you would like to be. It's ok.
Good WR too. Could be a weapon on fake punts.
No more scholarship kickers.

After 3 years of 'money', hawkins 30% kicker, Oliver was worth his weight in gold.
