Packers punter got funny shoutout from Pat McAfee for clutch kick
JK Scott was the unsung hero of the Green Bay Packers’ opening night victory on Thursday, but his contributions were certainly not lost on Pat McAfee.
The second-year punter’s 63-yard boot with less than two minutes remaining in the game pinned the opposing Chicago Bears inside of their own 14-yard line and helped secure the 10-3 win for Green Bay. Scott’s heroics earned him a funny shoutout on Twitter from the retired punting legend McAfee, who posted a video extolling the virtues of the 22-year-old’s form.
Here is the video (but beware of the vulgar language):

The Alabama product Scott won the Packers’ starting punter job as a rookie last season and should keep a stranglehold on the position if Thursday’s game was any indication. Hopefully though, Scott doesn’t get the same treatment that McAfee got the last time he uncorked a punt that deep.
