Broncos hosting fake punt specialist on pre-draft visit
The Denver Broncos signed punter Matt Haack to a one-year deal this week, but the team might not be done adding punters.
Haack is the initial favorite to take over punter duties after the team lost Riley Dixon to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during free agency, but he could face competition. One prospect to keep an eye on is South Carolina's Kai Kroeger.
The 22-year-old prospect was a two-time All-SEC punter (2022 and 2024) and a one-time All-American (2022). He has pre-draft workouts scheduled with the Tennessee Titans, Carolina Panthers and Broncos, according to Mike Uva of GamecockCentral.com.
Kroeger spent time as a quarterback in high school and he was a big fake punt threat at South Carolina, completing 7-of-10 passing attempts for 205 yards and three touchdowns. He's got a leg, too:
Kroeger averaged 44.6 yards per punt in five years with the Gamecocks, including a 47.8-yard average last fall. He is now projected a late-round or undrafted free agent prospect. Denver does not hold a seventh-round draft pick this year, but the team does have a trio of selections in the sixth round. The NFL draft will be held in Wisconsin from April 24-26.
