Punters aren’t drafted very often but we’ve seen two off the board already. Brent Bowden was selected in the 6th round by the Bucs.
2010 NFL Draft: Bucs Draft A Punter In The Sixth Round
Now, he doesn’t have the name power that Zoltan Mesko (!) does but Bucs fans at SB Nation’s Buc ‘Em are pretty jazzed about him (considering he’s, you know, just a punter).
Interesting pick with still plenty of needs left to be filled. Our punting situation was terrible last season, so this fills a need, maybe just not one with the highest priority. Bowden was an excellent Punter in college. He's got a ton of hang time and distance. He averaged anywhere from 40-43 yards per punt. He is 6'3 205, so he is a big guy with room to put more strength on.
