Underrated Upgrade: Bryan Anger Among League’s Best Punters in 2021

More than a few eyes rolled when the Cowboys brought in veteran Punter Bryan Anger this offseason. Hunter Niswander had seemingly earned the job in 2020, but Dallas clearly thought they could do better.

There’s no arguing that the Cowboys’ offense has been the strength of the team so far in 2021. But that doesn’t mean we haven’t seen some strong individual play on the defensive side, and some top performers have been instrumental to Dallas’ five-game winning streak early this season.
