Reliable WIU punter with a long-ball knack and field-position edge
Kris Coffee is a steady Western Illinois punter whose value shows up in the hidden-yardage battle: in the 2006 season he averaged 40.2 yards per punt, ranked second in the league, and pinned nine punts inside the 20, while earlier in his WIU career he produced multiple 50-plus-yard blasts and earned the team’s Special Teams Player of the Year honor. He looks like the kind of specialist who helps a defense breathe easier—consistent, field-position savvy, and built for coaches who love a punter who can flip the field without drama.
