Steelers bringing in veteran punter for workout

The Pittsburgh Steelers cut their roster down to 53 on Saturday and kept veteran punter Jordan Berry. But this might just be a temporary arrangement as NFL reporter Field Yates is reporting the Steelers are having former Kansas City Chiefs punter Dustin Colquitt in for a tryout.

Berry has been grossly inconsistent throughout his career. Berry has been with the team since 2015 and while his career average of 44.2-yard career average is very respectable.

The problem with the numbers are it doesn’t account for the 60-yard punt Berry bombs on one try, only to follow it up with a 25-yard effort the next time.

Colquitt is entering his 16th NFL season after playing the first 15 in Kansas City. His 44.8-yard average is almost identical to that of Berry but Colquitt has proven to be more consistent throughout his career.

Are the Steelers looking for an upgrade at punter or is there something else? Let us know in the comments below.
