Twitter reacts to Ravens signing former Bulldog specialist

The Baltimore Ravens signed former Georgia football punter Cam Nizialek Saturday as an NFL kicker.

Nizialek played one season with the Bulldogs in 2017 after receiving his degree from Columbia University. The specialist last played football for the AAF’s Atlanta Legends, booting a 65-yard punt in the short-lived league.

.@CamNizguy boots a 65-yard punt to the Birmingham 8-yard line as a brief UGA chant breaks out in the stands. Nizialek has three punts for 154 yards total on the day and is now averaging 51.5 per attempt. #AAF #AllHailATL #ForgeOn #JoinTheAlliance

After constantly practicing and working for another shot, it appears the ex-Bulldog will finally get his chance at an NFL roster spot.

Here’s how Nizialek’s former teammates and fans reacted to the good news.

Excited to learn from a couple of the best in the business! Go @Ravens #GoDawgs https://t.co/1r3xMe1eoL

Nizialek deserves this opportunity. He's too good to sit at home. https://t.co/1yMDeIzOQt

Nizialek punts and kicks so he’ll help out in both. The Chantilly, Va. native played his college football at Columbia.
