Former Ohio State punter Drue Chrisman has always been an outstanding storyteller. From his days of bottle-flipping with the Buckeyes to his quest to be an NFL punter, Chrisman has always drawn fans closer in unique ways.
Recently, Chrisman documented his tryout with the Washington Commanders which unfortunately didn’t end with a spot on the team. Much to the chagrin of the Commanders, Chrisman posted his journey to social media where the Commanders asked him to take the short documentary down. To this date, the video is still on Chrisman’s X (formerly Twitter) account.
Former NFL quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton caught wind of Chrisman’s talents. After checking out the documentary for himself, he gave a shout-out to the former Buckeye and invited him to come work for him at his production company Iconic Saga saying “You don’t need to punt anymore.”
"That was immaculate storytelling. I love that creativity. You don’t need to punt anymore—come work with my production company, Iconic Saga"

Whether Chrisman will take Newton up on the offer remains to be seen or if he’ll continue his quest to catch on with another NFL team. But one thing is for sure, Chrisman is a talented storyteller and has something to fall back on if punting doesn’t work out.
