But is he a good holder?

 

 

Actually found a Reddit thread on him about how he did a good job holding even with bad snaps. This is a Bills kind of guy.

You mean Chhekitowaga down dare.

 

Outside of joking, the articles on the main page seems interesting in the way he kicks, so the normal stats on hang time, avg. distance punting, etc. may not apply.  I’m in a we’ll see mode with the guy.  We don’t have a lot of choices right now mid season.

Yep. Lots of people in Buffalo and Chicago with various spellings of this name.

Imagine being an immigration clerk at Ellis Island and having to guess the spelling of names you have never heard before in a language you don't understand. 

Until the 1200-1300s, most common citizens did not have last names. Surnames often changed in the 1200-1800's in Europe because often the priest was the only literate person in the town and however he spelled it was your spelling. My surname changed 7 times between 1571 and 1796.

Your name was on the rolls from the port of the country you left.. the clerks at Ellis Island only check for accuracy they actually were not changing names contrary to popular belief 

 

Your name was on the ship's manifest from the port you left from in Europe.. and they just verified accuracy

 

many many families change their name once in America when they were about to become citizens
