McAfee needs to get Tress on his show asap! He's so underrated and gets no respect in the league. Loved him since his rookie year. Absolute monster of a punter

[@dad7335]

This video is literally about how he's not underrated

Meanwhile, Collinsworth will *literally* continue to fawn over Johnny Hekker and maybe 1 other punter. *literally*

[@erikboydston4476]

Part of it is he’s a good punter, part of it is being used as a qb in madden and winning the whole tournament, and part of it is his personality

[@B_Machine]

@James Gorman why did I not notice this? Lol

[@Erik-uo1cx]

He has the best personality, and is incredibly well spoken, must be because he doesn’t have small amounts of brain damage like the rest of the league

Yup. Union takes its sports very seriously

[@jedimindtrix2142]

@@inthemaze7441 I grew up playing baseball and at 16 had to make a choice between focusing on baseball or playing music. I was in a band and I couldn't dedicate enough time to either one between trying to do both. My choice was music as you can tell from my profile pic lol. As much as I love sports and always will I'd like to see these schools take the arts a lot more seriously. I get bummed when I hear about a school slashing music and arts programs and increase the football funds. Both are important.

My sons went to union, and now they tour as a rock duo. They are called The Smokestack Relics. I'll need to look at your profile picture again. As you've heard before,,,,,,what kind of music, are you in a band, are you available to hear on youtube?? Lol, gotta ask cause I love all music as do my sons.

I have played music for years and I always love talking with the people that support me. There are times when I'm just not feeling socializing and that's cool.

Many Skins fans aren’t even aware that we have somebody that is the best in the league in their position because he’s a kicker and also because he doesn’t draw attention to himself.
