Tennessee Titans legendary punter Brett Kern is getting the proper send-off into retirement that he deserves after an impressive career that saw him become one of the best punters in the NFL.
In fact, there were some years when you could even make the argument that he was among the best players on the team.
The three-time Pro Bowler was a sniper with his leg due to his masterful directional kicking ability. Kern had the rare ability to use coffin kicks to consistently pin the opposition inside the 10-yard line as long as he was within a reasonable range.
This underrated skill set is one of the many reasons why Jurrell Casey called Kern a “special piece to the defense” during the Titans’ lengthy tribute to the former All-Pro punter that saw several familiar faces congratulate Kern on his retirement. Check it out below.
