Kickers and Punters Drafted Earlier Than Pro Bowl Quarterbacks

Kickers and Punters Drafted Earlier Than Pro Bowl Quarterbacks

The news that Roberto Aguayo was released just one year after a second round pick was used to draft him was a tough pill to swallow for Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans. A year later the move looks terrible considering players like Jordan Howard and Yannick Ngakoue were drafted after the Bucs took a kicker.

The Bucs were set at quarterback with Jameis Winston, but they missed out on an eventual Pro Bowler in Dak Prescott, too.
