Carney: If Steelers Want To Fix Punting Woes, It’s Time To Heavily Invest Through NFL Draft

Three years ago, in the seventh round of the 2021 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers believed they were fixing their issues in the punting game, landing reigning Ray Guy Award winner Pressley Harvin III out of Georgia Tech.

Three years later, thanks to the inconsistencies from college carrying over to the NFL, the Steelers moved on from Harvin. On Monday, the Steelers released the former Georgia Tech punter, ending the three-year tenure and putting the Steelers in the market for a punter — again.

After spending a seventh-round pick on Harvin in 2021 and using a waiver claim on Braden Mann last offseason, getting no answer in the process, it’s time for the Steelers to seriously invest in the punter position in the draft.
