Berry

The first thing you need to know about Berry’s game is ... we know nothing about Berry’s game. Signed on the eve of Week 1 last season, the 30-year-old finished 13th in net-punting average at 40.8.

The Vikes are going with Berry over Britton Colquitt. Berry previously served as the Steelers’ punter from 2015-20, clocking in at 15th in net-punting average (40.5) last season. 2021 will be his age-30 season.

Berry has spent his entire career with the Steelers thus far, even re-joining the team for 11 games after he was initially released for Dustin Colquitt back in September. He turned 30 in March.

Pittsburgh’s starting punter the past four seasons, Berry has been extremely inconsistent with poor placement and a career 44.2 yard per punt average. He’ll be replaced by veteran P Dustin Colquitt.

Berry was 30th in net average last season and landed 25 punts inside the 20-yard line, good for 15th in the league. He’s very much an average punter.

Berry was one of the best punters in the country for Eastern Kentucky two years ago, averaging 43.8 yards. He spent last year with Pro Kick Australia, a program designed to transition Aussie kickers to the NFL. Berry will push Steelers incumbent Brad Wing, who placed 31st in gross punting average and 21st in net (38.8) in 2014. Richie Leone is also on the roster.

Berry was one of the worst punters in the league this season as a rookie UDFA. He averaged just 39.1 net yards per punt and is no lock to keep his job.

The Steelers’ punter since 2015, Berry had been headed for restricted free agency. Berry’s 39.8 net punting average was just 23rd in the league in 2017.
