Titans rookie punter Ryan Stonehouse making history through first three weeks
Many were surprised when the Tennessee Titans released longtime punter Brett Kern ahead of the 2022 season. But now it looks like a genius move because undrafted rookie Ryan Stonehouse, Kerr's replacement, has been booming punts at a historic rate.
Through three games, Stonehouse clearly has been the league's best punter, averaging nearly two yards more per punt than his closest competitor, Kansas City's Tommy Townsend. This 70-yard punt came late in the Titans' 24-22 victory over the Raiders, making it harder for Las Vegas to mount a potential tying drive.
Stonehouse's play could make a difference for a team battling injuries and lackluster play calling on offense. He also has a fan in Kern, who is a free agent.
