The Cincinnati Bengals have a full-blown battle at the punter position this summer between Drue Chrisman and rookie Brad Robbins.
Here’s a quick profile for Chrisman as we continue the countdown to the season opener.
Experience: 2 years (Undrafted, 2021)
Age: 24
College: Ohio State
2021 PFF Grade: 57.5
Numbers to Know: 13 pinned inside the 20, tied for 31st
Resume and Outlook: Chrisman was a better alternative than Kevin Huber last season, but his issues became more apparent the longer the season went on, highlighted by that brutal punt that effectively ended the AFC title game. While he has plenty to offer as a starting punter, the fact Robbins’ biggest strength happens to be hangtime — arguably his biggest weakness — seems to say a lot. It could be the most competitive roster battle of the summer.
