FOOTBALL QUESTION

Beloved Wife asked me this, and it had me scratching my head.

Are there any black punters or kickers in the NFL?

Seems to me it's the exclusive purview of stubby little white boys.

1 I don't think there are any right now, unless you count Kordell Stewart as one. He has at least one punt attempt this year. Last one I remember was a GREAT punter named Reggie Roby. And he wasn't stubby. He was around 6' 5". Played most of his career with the 'Fins. Last I remember of him, he was playing for the 'Skins in mid-90's.

2 Damn Harvey, that's a good one. I can't think of any at this point, but now I got something to chew on. Oh, T1G - good one on Kordell. Ha!

3 Of course I knew the answer to that question... I just wanted to see how long you would be sitting around scratching your ass before someone showed up to enlighten you....

4 Rodney Williams - a Ga Tech graduate, punted in the NFL for a few seasons a year or so ago.

5 I asked my bro who is the pro football stat king and he said not right now, but then proceeded to tell me about Reggie Roby. He does that Fantasy Football thing like T1G.

6 Yeah, Reggie Roby was a very good punter - though lacked the longevity of other punters I think. Rodney Williams had great leg, but wasn't consistent enough for the pros. We loved him in college.

7 Before Regy Roby, Greg Coleman punted for the Vikings. At the time (78-87) he was the best directional punter in the league.

8 Reggie Roby passed away today at age 43. Cause of death is unknown. Sad.
