In 2007 Pittsburgh traded up to draft punter Daniel Sepulveda, a two-time winner of the Ray Guy award while playing college ball at Baylor.
On Tuesday the Steelers announced that he had torn the ACL in his right knee and will miss the season, according to various media reports.
How does a punter tear his ACL? For the second time in three years? The first time it happened while he was playing pickup basketball at Baylor. No word at this point on how he damaged the knee this time around.
Why does Zoneblitz care about an injury to a punter? Well, mostly because it’s our site and we post what we want to post. And we are addicted to the sound of our own words.
But Sepulveda, who also has kind of a cool sounding name, did average 42.4 yards per punt and put 28 of 68 punts inside the 20 yard line as a rookie. The team claimed former Denver punter Paul Ernster to take Sepulveda’s spot.

I swear if August comes and goes and there aren’t changes I’m done with the Pro Football Hall of Fame
