Disagree with this Housh, at least with Punters, they have to be pretty damn great athletes. They can jump crazy high while
Kicking the ball as far as possible while nearly kicking themselves in the face. Now Kickers, yeah, those are the softest dudes
in football, but some of them are buff too.

You know it Sled, it is strenous on the body, just different than all the other positions and Punters DO get hit lots.
They aren't protected nearly as much as Kickers.

Here is a video of him in a game against Washington with a heck of a cool behind the back move he made to try to salvage the play. Unfortunately it didn't work out in the end.
Good stuff George.
