Kirby getting some NFL draft love

**CY22** · 01-07-2013, 10:58 AM

Saw espn put him as the no.1 punter for the junior class.

Looking ahead to the Big 12's 2013 draft - Big 12 Blog - ESPN

Obviously still plenty of time until next year's draft, but thought it was cool for him to get some recognition for what he is able to do week in and week out. Guy is a magician as far as I'm concerned with getting the ball to do what he can.

I don't know, maybe the Chiefs seeing as all the playing time he would get punting it away every series

No, I take it more as him just trying to get out ahead and giving people something to think about for next year's draft already. There is no way any punter/kicker would ever leave early for the draft, seeing as they more than likely wouldn't get drafted anyway but instead signed on as a FA.

Love Kirby, he's usually automatic & a huge asset for us. Anyone else think he wasn't punting like his usual self in the bowl game?

Just like our bowl game, he would even keep the same colors

Not sure if serious.

Isn't LSU's punter (a junior) leaving early for the draft this year?

Bad conditions combined with trying to not give #22 a return makes for an illusion of a bad punt when in fact he punted exactly like they game planned for.

There's more to punting than just kicking it as far and high as you can, we most always directional kick to minimize the chance of a return.

Kirby Van der Kamp punts footballs. Well.

**Cyballz** · 01-07-2013, 11:48 AM

I heard the NFL scouts were a little leery of Van Der Kamp, they are afraid that the tread is getting worn off his tires with the Cyclone offense's inability to get a first down.
