Villanova’s steady-field-position specialist with a cannon leg
Chris Birch’s calling card at Villanova is simple and valuable: flip the field. In the 2001 season, he averaged 41.3 yards per punt with 11 punts inside the 20 and a long of 60, while earlier Villanova notes showed a 39.6-yard average in 2000 and third-team Atlantic 10 recognition as a punter. He also had the versatility to handle place-kicking duties when needed, which makes him a reliable, plug-and-play special-teams weapon if your team wants hidden-yardage edge and calm, veteran execution.
