Proven leg, steady command, and a veteran kicking-game weapon for Albany
In the 2003 season, Stan Zylinski stood out as a two-way kicking-game contributor for Albany, averaging 38.0 yards per punt and dropping 19 punts inside the 20, which ranked second in the NEC in both categories[12]. He also handled field goals, showing value beyond the punt line and giving a team flexibility in tight games[3][10]. The appeal here is reliability and versatility: a veteran specialist who could flip field position and handle pressure snaps, especially in a system that trusted him with nearly all kicking duties[3][12].
