Re: 4.38 40 Punter!

In last year's NCAA I once recruited a punter with 4.2 speed, he came in at 99 speed. This was in the final season of an online dynasty that was getting ready to die (thanks to last years wonderful cpu recruiting) and we weren't really taking the dynasty seriously anymore, so I would occasionally put the punter in as my backup QB and swap him in to run QB draws... it was ridiculous how effective it was.

Re: 4.38 40 Punter!

The Cowboys drafted a kicker from USC that runs a 4.56 and plays on the punt coverage team. A fast kicker is rare but not impossible:

Dallas' rookie kicker turns heads
by Tom Orsborn, STAFF , San Antonio Express-News


Geoff Jones can't wait to see fifth-round pick David Buehler kick off for the Dallas Cowboys.

Make no mistake. How far the ball travels - and given Buehler's booming leg, it likely will be far - isn't what interests Jones. He'll be charting how far the ball carrier travels after getting hit by Buehler.

"He'll knock your head off," Jones, coach at Santa Ana (Calif.) College, said of Buehler, who played for the Dons before transferring to USC in 2006.

With an eye toward improving their special teams, the Cowboys selected Buehler to be a kickoff specialist. But given his 6-foot-2, 227-pound size and athletic prowess, Dallas is considering using Buehler in other roles.

Even though kickers aren't required to lift for scouts, Buehler did - and in impressive fashion.

In a showing that eclipsed many linebackers, tight ends and even offensive linemen, he bench-pressed 225 pounds 25 times. Buehler's USC teammate, linebacker Rey Maualuga, did only 23.

Buehler also ran the 40-yard dash in 4.56 seconds, which bested two other former Trojans, linebackers Brian Cushing and Clay Matthews.

Buehler's eye-opening workout wasn't the first time he left coaches shaking their heads in wonder.

Two weeks into practice at Santa Ana College, Buehler shocked the Dons when he smoked the team's fastest players in an impromptu 40-yard dash competition.

So in addition to playing kicker, safety and a gunner on punt coverage, Buehler became a goal-line back.

In his first season at USC, Buehler was a kicker, safety and fullback. He became the first-team place kicker after Mario Danelo died in 2007.

For the Trojans, Buehler hit 26 of 33 field goals and 117 of 120 extra points tries for 195 points. He also had five tackles.

The Bills have done a few fake punts where he runs the ball and he is very very fast for a punter....just my two cents....
Few years ago, our punter for LSU, Chris Jackson was pretty swift.

Against Arizona during Mile's first game, he ran a quick fake punt for a 1st down and did it in a hurry. Also during Mile's first bowl with LSU game against Miami, he ran another quick fake punt run and trucked the hell out of a Miami defender who tried to stop him.

It's not entirely impossible to have a guy who is quick on his feet. In our case, Jackson was a two sport athlete as he also played baseball for LSU.
