KFAN article:
In college, Kluwe averaged 43.4 yards per punt and was one of three finalists for the Ray Guy Award for the NCAA punter of the year.

The guy has potential, I hope he can deliver use some consistancy. But being ranked 26th overall in the preseason still means there were only a hand full of punters worse than him, Bennett and Dorsch being 2 of that hand full.

None of the other Veterans that Tice is going to tryout look that much better.

I'm gonna make my kids punters!

Anyone would be better than Bennett. No offence to Bennett, I like him. I feel bad for his child. But, as a Vike fan, it's time to move on....

Chris Kluwe!! (we hope)

Kluwe will compete with 3 other veterans:

when Kluwe is enjoying his off day, the Vikings will work out three veterans: Chris Mohr, 39, with 16 years of NFL experience; Tom Rouen, 37, with 13 years in the league; and Micah Knorr, 30.

I hope this guy can do it for us. Bennet sucked last year and preseason. I hope he can kickoff too, since Edinger is not doing the best there.

Is the Viking organization a retirement home for kickers and punters?? :roll:

I will take Kluwe over them just because he can develop and be perhaps our future punter.

yah i just hope Kluwe doesn't need someone to teach him, because i'm tired of having older than dirt kickers in Minnesota.
