PrintAs GoHorse88 FanPosted (via the Indy Star), seventh round pick Pat McAfee has been signed. Terms of the deal are not, as yet, known. McAfee was drafted to replace Indy's longtime punter (and Christian rock singer), Hunter Smith. Smith signed a free agent contract with the Redskins this off-season.
McAfee is a man of many talents. He can punt, kick field goals, wrestle grown men in pig masks, and act as a pitch man Tampax tampons. The video of his fake tampons endorsement was taken down by the no fun Nazis, but trust us when we say that Pat McAfee will certainly add some much needed humor to the Colts locker room.
Oh, don't ever confuse Pat McAfee with that other kicker from West Virginia associated with the Colts. If you do, Pat might just have to pwn your ass, like he did this kick returner from MSU:
Welcome to the Colts, Pat. We're looking forward to seeing you kick ass, take names, and NOT out-kick your coverage mates, as Hunter Smith always seemed to do.

I see McAfee outkicking the coverage every time
Just so he can register those bone-jarring, TD-saving tackles for the highlight reels.
I hate Joe Namath. That's how long I've been a Colts fan.
What?
What’s wrong with Vanderjagt? I’m pretty sure almost every young or rookie kicker in the league would LOVE to be just like vandy. Sure, he shanked one of the biggest kicks in Colts history, but the guy has the NFL’s highest FG percentage! Ever! There are very few kickers like him, and I still think he was great.

p.s.
don’t hate on Hunter. He was one of the most consistent punters in the league. It’s the coverage’s fault.

Highest FG% in history
He played indoors, most of his kicks were within 35 yards, and he rareley had to make a pressure kick.
The times he had to make pressure kicks, he was 3-6. The makes (2 at Denver in the snow and 1 at home against the Ravens from about 33 yards or so) were good, but the misses (wildcard at Miami, game 1 at NE and Divisional at home vs. Steelers) were killers.
He was too cocky for his own good, never lived up to it and we probably should have cut him after he made those comments about Manning and Dungy on the Canadian TV show to save ourselves a few ulcers.
"I'm looking for Ray Finkle....and a clean pair of shorts."
