Packers Sign PSU Punter

A bit of non-Eagles news for the overlap fans:

Packers want steady leg from new punter Kapinos

The Green Bay Packers are hoping Jeremy Kapinos isn’t fighting the same mental demons that doomed recently released punter Derrick Frost this season.  They signed Kapinos over three other punters they worked out Tuesday and Wednesday, and he’ll be their punter Sunday against the Houston Texans...

At 6-foot-1 and 230 pounds, Kapinos is the biggest of the four punters the Packers worked out this week — the others were Paul Ernster (6-0, 217), Durant Brooks (6-2, 204) and Danny Baugher (5-10, 194) — and has experience working in inclement weather as a four-year punter in college at Penn State.

Kapinos also has some game experience in the NFL. Last year as an undrafted rookie with the New York Jets he punted five times in one game as an injury replacement and had a gross average of 41.6 yards and 36.4 yards net.

The Jets brought Kapinos back in the offseason to compete with Ben Graham, but they cut Kapinos in June and he’s been out of football since.

And if you're not a PSU fan, right now you're thinking, "A punter?  Really?  Who cares about them?" 

Well this guy was at Penn State when things weren't always as good as they have been lately, and there were any number of games where he was our most potent offensive weapon.  I'm glad to see he stuck with it to get some more chances.
