In what was a terribly disappointing 2022 season for the Tennessee Titans, rookie punter Ryan Stonehouse was one of the bright spots.
The 2022 undrafted free agent signing beat out franchise great Brett Kern for the starting job in training camp, and then proceeded to make history.
Stonehouse tallied a gross yards per punt mark of 53.1, breaking an 82-year-old record previously held by Hall of Famer, Sammy Baugh. And not only did Stonehouse break it, he smashed it by 1.7 yards.
The biggest knock on Stonehouse was his net yards per punt average, which landed at 44.0, fourth-best in the NFL. However, he did break the single-season rookie record for that statistic.
Despite his record-breaking season, Stonehouse was snubbed for the Pro Bowl twice, first in the initial voting to Kansas City Chiefs punter Tommy Townsend, and then as a replacement to Las Vegas Raiders punter, AJ Cole.
Stonehouse posted this tweet after the latter occurred.

Stonehouse fell short of first-team All-Pro, but did make it on the second team. The Colorado State product was also voted to the PFWA’s All-Rookie Team.
