Many in the Draft section know I had been touting this dude for many months.
Happy McNamara is a Bengal, and even happier it didn't cost a draft pick.
Yes, you were very high on McNamara, even over Tory Taylor.

In 2021, McNamara averaged 48.2 YPP.
He adjusted his punts to be less distance-focused and more placement-focused after that season.
He has the leg to be a Top 10 punter in the NFL.

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.
Good stuff, thanks Ochocincos. I like McNamara's chances at winning the job.
