Former Georgia punter Jake Camarda was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Month this week.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneer punted 14 times for 768 gross yards (54.9 average) and 629 net yards (44.9 average). Camarda is tied for the NFC lead with seven punts pinned inside the 20-yard line. His 54.9 gross yards per punt lead the NFL, while his 44.9 net yards per punt rank fifth in the league.
Camarda is the second-ever Buccaneer punter to win the award (Josh Bidwell, Nov. 2005).
The former Coaches All-SEC selection finished his career at Georgia as UGA’s career leader in punting average with a mark of 45.78 yards per punt.
Camarda was drafted in the fourth-round of the 2022 NFL draft and has surpassed expectations thus far.
