One Patriots rookie hasn’t gotten much love at all so far this offseason but how about Zoltan Mesko? Look, I’m no punting expert but just the fact that he didn’t get cut and didn’t mess up holding any Field Goals or Extra Points (though there was one botched play clock expiration) while being 14th in the NFL in net punting bodes well for the rookie’s future.
Is there room to improve? Of course (he tied for 25th in punts inside the 20 yard line), but it appears that the revolving door of Patriots punters has stopped spinning for the next few years. Plus who doesn’t love a player whose nickname is The Space Emperor of Space?
Here’s Zoltan making basically a game-saving punt against the Ravens in overtime, by far his best play of the 2010 season.
And then there’s this one too…
