Mike Dragosavich
Numbers: 6054/212/4.94pd
2008 stats: None
2008 preseason stats: None
Although Hunter Smith is still an effective punter (critics be damned!), and the best holder in the league, I like this signing. Dragosavich may have the strongest kicking leg I have ever seen. He makes Sebastian Janikowski look like a toddler. So why is he available, and why is he on his third NFL team in less than a year? Well, he has the subtlety and nuance of Janikowski after a few highballs. He really needs to learn how to kick like a big boy. Although he is unlikely to usurp the ever-savvy Smith from his punting duties, Dragosavich has a chance to stick as a kickoff specialist. Should he learn how to do it properly, he could be a real weapon.
Note: StampedeBlue reports that Smith has voided the final year of his contract (making him a free agent) and that his agent says the Colts are not offering him a contract. While that would mean the Colts will need a punter, it doesn't make me think Dragosavich is the guy.
