College Punter Of The Year Chose Punting Because He’s Fat On The Inside And Hates Running
During last night’s College Football Awards show, Utah’s punter, Tom Hackett, won his second Ray Guy award after finishing fourth in the nation for yards per punt at 47.4. Since it is typical to get an interview with the winner after he’s given the award, ESPN’s Chris Fowler caught up with Tom and asked him about Aussie football players and why he picked punting.
Tom gave a great response.
Punter might be the best position outside of backup QB. You get to claim you’re a starter, you don’t have the pressure of a place kicker, and you don’t have to be the most athletic person on the field. Tom has nailed it down to a science. Good guy to look up to for all those youngsters out there..

10 years ago at 11:09 amMe too. And I’m just saying I’m a bit more winded after basketball or soccer than football.

10 years ago at 11:27 amExcept the problem with punting is that special teams gets “special” girls
10 years ago at 11:28 amHe may be an exception though since he’s an Aussie. Girls love Aussies.
