The Steelers are experimenting with punter Dan Sepulveda as a kicker on kickoffs because they’re concerned about Jeff Reed’s ability to boot the ball long and high.
Reed may be one of the NFL’s most clutch field-goal kickers. But he’s one of the league’s worst when it comes to distance on kickoffs.
Last year, Reed only launched three touchbacks, tied for 30th in the league. By comparison, Dallas’ David Buehler led the league with 29 touchbacks while averaging 67.4 yards per kickoff.
