[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1681727, member: 746137"] Hayes' strength is directional coffin corner punting pinning teams deep, and this year he was 11th in the nation in net punting, and only had 2 touchbacks on 68 punts. His fellow Aussie Adam Korsak at Rutgers led the nation in net punting and had 70 punts and zero(!) touchbacks. Insane. That feathery pitching wedge kind of kicking is something kids who grew up with Aussie rules football just have a natural skill for no one else really does. But ultimately what the NFL wants most is field position flipping power and hang time, and in that regard Matt Araiza from San Diego State, who I believe has broken the NCAA record for total punting average this year, is an evolutionary player. He'll be drafted in the first few rounds. [/QUOTE]
