Description
From soccer to the NFL: Austin McNamaras Unconventional Path to the JetsAustin McNamara, the New York Jets standout punter, found his footing in the NFL through an unconventional route. Growing up in Arizona, he excelled in soccer and basketball, only picking up football in high school. His soccer background led him to try kicking, and with his fathers guidance from YouTube tutorials, he quickly mastered the art. Now, at 24, McNamara is making waves in the NFL, ranking high in net average and punts downed inside the twenty-yard line. His consistency has even earned him Pro Bowl recognition consideration. Despite going undrafted and being cut by the Bengals, McNamaras dedication and a little help from YouTube led him to his current success with the Jets.
