Back in February, word reached us that the Bengals were very interested in University of Cincinnati punter, Kevin Huber. Since 2004, only 11 punters have been drafted; Huber figures to be added to that list. His numbers at UC:

According to PFT, via a league source, the Bengals are "conducting a private workout for" Huber on Thursday. On Friday, Huber will be in New Orleans for a workout and he's already visited the Eagles, Jets, Dolphins, Broncos and Patriots.
Kyle Larson is under fire after ranking worse than 25th in both net and gross average punts for the past two seasons. Then again, if you punt 100 times in one season, like Kyle Larson did in 2008, likely the leg is saying "game over, man. Game over!"
