P Tommy Townsend
The Chiefs recently said goodbye to longtime punter Dustin Colquitt. They’re going to need a replacement as both a punter and holder for kicker Harrison Butker. Townsend is favored to win the job because he has experience doing both of those things with the Florida Gators.
Townsend won’t be uncontested, though, as he’ll face competition from second-year punter Tyler Newsome. Townsend has the edge as a holder, but Newsome definitely is an athlete to be reckoned with. I want to see how these two players look early on and how the snaps fall. There’s nothing more exciting than watching a punter battle, right?
