Morstead to Combine?

Offensive linemen, tight ends and kickers and punters report today.

Good luck, Thomas!

So, Friday morning, the kickers and punters will go through a number of drills. Which of the following do you consider remotely useful in evaluating a kicker: 40, 3-cone drill, 20-yard and 60-yard shuttles, bench press, vertical jump, broad jump?

Obviously the bench press. Morstead will blow lap the competition in that.

Good luck, Thomas

A blurb on SI.com about TM

Thomas Morstead of SMU displayed a strong leg as most of his punts were measured at 50 yards or more, the longest being a 60-yarder. The problem is Morstead looked terrible as a directional punter.

I cannot name more than 3 punters in the NFL who even attempt directional punting. Most just aim for hang time and rely on special teams to minimize run back yardage. Most coaches just do not want mistakes and shanks so the punters kick away.

Broad jump is clearly irrelavent at this stage. He will have plenty of opportunity to jump broads AFTER he signs his NFL contract.
