I believe they were considered better directional punters, also with great legs ( you knowwhat I mean). I also think they hold foy FGs. I believe if still available the Bills may have preferred the guy from PSU

Nice gams?

Because he was both kicker and punter at San Diego State. 

 

Fair enough - he never got the chance then. Probably why he went third (that and the belief that he needs to measure his kicks more so they come down on the field of play rather than out of the back at times).

 

Still love this pick.

Araiza jerseys are going to outsell Allen jerseys this year. 

I don't know about that (unless it's because we all already have Allen jerseys), but I did just say to my wife that I bet he is going to sell a ton of jerseys this year.

Has any fan base praised a punter pick this much aside from maybe Ray Guy in Oakland?

 

I highly doubt fans went this nuts over Guy back then.  No Internet,  less hype and coverage

They let us go back and pick again because so many fans beyotched about day 2. 

 

They beyotched about the trading-away of the 4th rounder.  Pick 108 is the 3rd pick of the 4th round.  And they got the 1st pick of the 6th round by trading down in the 2nd.  Again, I'm calling Araiza their missing 4th round pick.

Any idea why he doesn't hold? I'd ask if it's something which could be coached but if so would it have been done at college?

 

He was the kicker as well as the punter, someone held for him.
