So much so that the 49ers took another Australian Punter from the same academy that Michael Dickson came from in the 4th round this year

best punter in the league hands down

UT fans already knew. We were wwaiting to laugh at all the Gms who doubted Dickson. Im is just happy my favorite team drafted him.

Dickson's a trend setter. Everyone gonna try and find an Aussie kicker, now. Fun to watch. Go Hawks!

[@henrypollock7987]

I agree with his philosophy of just not over thinking the mechanics just what's comfortable seen alot of afl players getting goal kicking coaches and then there shanking kicks.all of a sudden because there over thinking it.

[@substancep21]

Every NFL team needs an Aussie!

[@jackdickey6015]

If he can stay healthy he will be in my opinion of of the best punters we have ever seen ! He has mad skills !!!!!

[@EAFSQ9]

Somebody get an interview with him and Rich Eisen. Eisen would lose his mind at a rookie all-pro punter.

[@muhammadfarhan581]

I know its cliche that ppl say punters are underapreciated but currently i see punters actually got more recognition than other special teamer like kickers and returners, and even (surprisingly) o-line.

[@squirrel9407]

Straya! What a champion kid - well done mate.

[@edwardkim6071]

i know we have a better kicker now but i still would've liked to know if hes improved his onside kicking skills

[@michaelcrawford4940]

Only thing missing is him kicking some through the basketball hoop like dude perfect

[@russe19642]

Seattle also took up learning rugby tackling as well?

[@chrisr9726]

Rugby and Aussie Rules are 2 completely different sports. A lot of Americans think punters from Australia play rugby but they've played AFL (Australian rules football). Rugby players that have played NFL are field players eg Jarryd Hayne.

[@russe19642]

Punters don't do on side kicks for a reason. He won't have to worry about that with pro bowl myers.

[@darells.illustrisimo467]

Right, as long as he does what he's best at 12s gonna be happy. You want him to do extra shit that's what's gonna fuck it up for him.

@@Cody-ec3bt lmao yes they do, a lot of punters kick off too

[@madgreek253]

@@notchjohnson4713 punters do not do kick offs, onside kicks or field goals unless the kicker is hurt. Hence the reason they are 2 different positions on the roster.

[@brandonb.5304]

@@notchjohnson4713 Punters only do kickoffs or onside kicks if they have to: either because the field goal kicker is injured or some other odd strategic reason. 99% of the time punters only do two jobs--punt and hold the ball for field goal attempts.

"Are you a film junkie?" HE'S A PUNTER!!! What the fuck does he need to watch a bunch of film for? He isn't punting differently against different teams.

[@tcog9300]

He's a punter, even if he's the best in the world, he's still just a punter. Calm down.

[@tcog9300]

@@capncook5054 True, and yet he's still just a punter. I got nothing against the guy, Australians should just realise he's not that special and stop ranting and raving about him just because he's Australian

[@ocbee6175]

Calvin denBoer imagine this, you have a solid team but a terrible punter, every time you get pinned and are on a 4th down, your punt gets blocked, touchdown or a huge position loss, and if he gets the punt away, it could be inaccurate and go maybe 25 yards. They have short field and score easily. Punters are a valuable asset and good teams should have at least a half good punter

[@ocbee6175]

Calvin denBoer also he made all-pro as the best punter in the league

[@tcog9300]

@@ocbee6175 there have been far better punters that no1 cared about. I understand the positions important, and that hes a good player, but his fame comes from being an australian nfl player, not actual skill
