    Unless I missed it, wing hasn't gone yet. Wonder what he thinks about another punter going.

    No Wing hasn't gone yet, surprised someone was taken before him. Slightly off last year, but he's still the best punter out there.

    Might be the best punter but many teams don't like his attitude/personality.

    Hence, Appalachian St. Punter was just taken before him.

    I guess being likable is more important than being able to drop it in the 0-10 yard range everytime ......

    Not likable but someone that they can rely on. Remember LSU had that issue with him as well on a couple of occasions.

    I just see him as a game changer. One of the few punters who can actually be an offensive weapon.

    As do I but you can only change a game if you are playing in one. NFL teams have a legitimate reason to be worried based on his history is all I am saying and the reason he is still waiting.

    It has been reported that LSU informed Wing that he was not welcome to return and have been brutally honest with pro scouts.

    Brash in interviews and demonstrative on the field, Wing has been the subject of frequent stories by various national media outlets.
    "Unlike most punters, he wants the fame," one scout said. "If he goes to New York or somewhere like that, look out. He's just a big party guy.
    "He's more interested in the length of his punts than the directional or actually being an NFL-type punter."
    It's an average year for punters. If he isn't drafted late, Wing surely will sign as a free agent.
    "Our team wouldn't even consider him," one of the special-teams coaches said. "When you have multiple violations is when you start to worry.
    "With the drug failures, some teams just go with somebody else. But some teams don't worry a thing about that."
