He'll have one thing on his resume that most of these kickers and punters won't have. He'll actually be DRAFTED by an NFL team. Most kickers/punters are picked up in Free Agency, but being a double-duty guy, someone will draft him because it opens up a roster spot.
Henery definatley deserved it. Harry wasn't first or second team either. Both of these guys not only had the status, but also the impact on games to warrant a 1st or 2nd team selection.
Any by overlooked you mean overshadowed in accuracy? I don't mean to flame or hijack, but accuracy counts just as much as range. Anyone who can kick 20-50 yard FGs at a 96% clip with a lone missed kick coming in a driving rain is probably going to get consideration over someone who kicks 85% even if most of those misses were 45 yards or more.
I have no issue with Ressel being first-team PK. He completely deserved it. Maybe if Henery makes the 43-yarder against OU and the 50-yarder against CU it's a close call. But as is, Ressel earned it. My only issue is at the punter spot.
I totally agree. He will propably get drafted before most and will forget all about it. It still sucks that he doesn't get the recognition he deserves, or that I atleast think he deserves.
Sad thing is, Henery has 13-15 more punts than the three guys ahead of him on the list. That's nearly two more drives stalled per game.
