"He's ahead of the curve when it comes to the approach to the kicking game, his workout routine, his mental focus," Carney said. "It may say 'rookie' next to his name, but he really trains and behaves as if he's been in the NFL for five years."

"Everyone was up in arms with a fifth-round selection there, but it looks pretty good now," Payton said.

"He's the best I've seen since I've been in the league at kickoffs, and his placement on punts has been big for our special teams." Darren Sharper

Hopefully this kid stays healthy, confident, continues to improve and we dont have to worry about a punter for the next 15 years.

If Hartley gets right, we may be set w/ our specialists for a while. that should give SP way less headaches and allows him to concentrate on more pressing matters.

Can you imagine him kicking a drop kick for 65 yds to win a game? The kid would be a legend.
