#9 Punter - David Shanahan - Ireland

American footballing. Love the way they phrase stuff over there. Can we get an Irish announce team, too?

He's a lefty.

Toward the end of one of his answers, he referenced the Patriots having “a lot” of left-footed punters since he’s been the head coach, which is something of an understatement. In fact, save for a handful of fill-in games by righties, the Patriots have exclusively employed left-footed punters under Belichick.

It’s a quirk that’s taken on something of its own mystique. Adding to the left-footed lore is the fact that there’s something of a spate of lefties in today’s NFL. Back in 2000, there were just five lefty punters on opening day. This season, 10 lefties have punted for NFL teams. That includes every punter in the NFC East, and there were four lefties in this year’s playoffs field: New England’s Ryan Allen, Philadelphia’s Donnie Jones, Kansas City’s Dustin Colquitt and Carolina’s Michael Palardy.
