The Bills entered training camp with a few legs the coaching staff is keeping a close eye on. Specifically, there’s two punters battling for the team’s starting job in 2020.
Corey Bojorquez is the team’s left-footed incumbent while Kaare Vedvik, who’s also tried his hand at placekicking in the NFL, is the other. But there might be a chance that the Bills bring some more fresh blood in.
According to the NFL’s daily report on team workouts, the Bills hosted two punters for workouts on Tuesday. Those two were Lachlan Edwards and Matt Bosher.
Edwards, a seventh-round pick of the Jets in 2016, spent the past four seasons with Gang Green. He’s averaged 45.5 yards per punt. The twist with Edwards? The 29-year-old is a native of Australia.
Bosher, 32, has a few more years of experience on Edwards. He was also a former drafted kicker as well, a sixth-round pick of the Falcons back in 2011. Bosher has a career average of 45.7 yards per punt. In 2019, he was held to five games played due to a groin injury.
Worth noting, this doesn’t exactly mean that the Bills don’t like Bojorquez and/ or Vedvik. Teams often will workout players to keep them in mind later down the road, too. That could be cause of an injury, or perhaps because a season en route comes with no preseason games due to a global pandemic. If the Bills do pick Bojorquez or Vedvik but their efforts are poor in the regular season, except these two new workouts to also be on the team’s radar as replacements.
