The Denver Broncos, armed with an extra draft pick after an earlier trade with the Houston Texans, have selected Florida punter Jeremy Crenshaw.
Crenshaw was the first punter off the board in this draft and he may be the only one. After losing Riley Dixon in free agency, the Broncos were left without a punter on their roster. They signed veteran Matt Haack and have now brought in Crenshaw for a good old-fashioned punter's battle this summer.
Haack has the benefit of having played under Broncos special teams coach Darren Rizzi while the two were with the Miami Dolphins but Crenshaw will have the younger leg, making for an interesting battle.
Crenshaw is a big punter at 6-foot-4 and he's an experienced one, having kicked in over 50 games for the Gators. He had a career average of 46.4 yards per punt on 190 kicks in college.
Born in Australia, a place that has produced several NFL punters, Crenshaw spent four years at Florida as their punter. Lance Zierlein of NFL.com had this to say about him in his scouting profile:
"A four-year punter for the Gators, Crawshaw flashes good power from a quick delivery but will need to improve his hang time to keep NFL returners from chopping at his net average. He can be highly effective when he’s protected, with touch punts placing opponents near or inside their own 10-yard line."
