And to help put McNamara's YPP into perspective...

Drue Chrisman had a big leg. He averaged 47.8 YPP his 1 year with the Bengals.
In college, his average at Ohio St was 44.6.
McNamara's was over 1 yard higher in his career average, and he exceeded 48 one year while focusing on distance.
McNamara also had a higher college career average than Huber (45.9 vs 45.5).

My expectations - McNamara will have the distance of Drue Chrisman but the placement more similar to Huber.

Heard him interviewed by Dan Hoard.   For such a big guy he has a little voice, and sounded almost manic with pressure speech.

But I LOVED what he said.   He's got the leg, but perceives his hangtime and directional punting as his strengths.  His big focus is on increasing his consistency.

Can't wait to watch him.  He sounds like a gem!
