Davidson invited to NFL Combine
Davidson invited to NFL Combine
Probably not a surprise here. Joe Davidson has been invited to attend the NFL Combine. One of seven punters to receive an invite.

Attended more games than any responsible student should have.

I stand by my belief that he won't be drafted, but he'll be high on a number of teams' lists as a UDFA. If nothing else, he'll certainly receive some training camp invites. And knowing how hard he works, I think he will make a team very happy this fall and beyond. Good luck, Joe!

Re: Davidson invited to NFL Combine
Yeah, most teams don't use picks on punters. No doubt he'll get tons of interest though and I'm confident we'll see him with a team next season.

They don't use picks on punters or kickers, unless they are the Buccaneers, trading up to draft a kicker in the 2nd round who only lasted 2 or 3 years there... yeesh.jpfalcon09 wrote:Yeah, most teams don't use picks on punters.

Re: Davidson invited to NFL Combine
In 2017 no punters were taken in the NFL draft. There were 3 Kickers and a LS picked and none till the 5th round. All 3 Kickers did stick however during the season including Jake Elliot of the Super Bowl champs.mbenecke wrote:They don't use picks on punters or kickers, unless they are the Buccaneers, trading up to draft a kicker in the 2nd round who only lasted 2 or 3 years there... yeesh.jpfalcon09 wrote:Yeah, most teams don't use picks on punters.

Ray Guy was a 1st round draft pick around 1972 by the Oakland Raiders.

Re: Davidson invited to NFL Combine
This is not a great year for kickers in terms of the draft. The best kicker is Daniel Carlson by a mile...others who have NFL potential are Joey Slye (VT) and Jason Sanders (New Mexico).
...But the punters are tremendous this year:
Michael Dickson (Texas)
Joseph Davidson (Bowling Green)
Trevor Daniel (Tennessee)
The unfortunate truth is that the punter position does have not as much turnover as the kicker position. A punter can have three bad games before they consider replacing them, while all a kicker has to do is shank and extra point and they've got a dozen kickers trying out on Monday.
Love to see Davidson get drafted...but he's got some competition this year.
