If there’s one thing NFL fans can agree on, it’s that we can all appreciate a good punt when we see it. And Pressley Harvin III just had the punt of a lifetime.
During Thursday’s Hall of Fame game — the official start of the NFL preseason — Pittsburgh Steelers punter Harvin boomed this perfect punt down the field to pin the Dallas Cowboys at the one-yard line near the end of the first half. The ball had the right amount of backspin on it to hit the ground at the one-yard line and just… bounce perfectly in place until Harvin’s teammates were able to down the ball.
It’s quite the incredible punt from Harvin, the Steelers’ 254th pick in April’s draft, one which may have won him a starting spot on Pittsburgh’s roster.
Already in Canton. Might as well start making Pressley Harvin's bust. What a punt. #Steelers pic.twitter.com/NY3W0etvwF

Yes, it may be preseason, but that’s a hell of a punt all the same! NFL fans were beside themselves with excitement at what was, without a doubt, the best play of the game thus far.
