Hope he does well.

We / the players are fortunate to have great coaches like Gansz -- play like you don't have any money (believe that is what he always says during drills).

great for him. I hope he gets on a team that plays the Cowboys this year.

I read nothing but good things about this guy. Not only is he talented and only getting better, but hes got great character and a great work ethic. I hope he makes it in the NFL. This is one name I'll be looking out for on draft weekend and wherever he lands, I'll be sure to try and watch at least one of their games to see if hes in.

will he get drafted or does he just get a prefered free agent invite?

I think he gets drafted.

why, punters almost never get drafted? I think he is great, don't get me wrong. But why would you waste a pick on a punter?
