49ers Sign Andy Lee to Six-Year Extension
Posted 55 minutes ago
By 49ers Public Relations
The San Francisco 49ers signed P Andy Lee to a six-year contract
extension through the 2018 season. The 49ers originally selected Lee
in the sixth round of the 2004 NFL Draft with the 188th pick overall.
“The 49ers are pleased to have reached a long term contract extension
with Andy,” said General Manager Trent Baalke. “Andy has established
himself as one of the top players in the game at his position. He is a
valued member of our organization and community. As we stated earlier
this year, it is our objective to keep the core of this team together
long term, and this is just another step in that direction.”
A three-time Pro Bowl selection and three-time All-Pro, Lee (6-2, 180)
has established himself as one of the NFL’s most productive punters
since entering the league. In 2011, he set the NFL single-season
record in net punting average (44.0), while his gross average (50.9)
ranked third in NFL history. Lee also set the 49ers single-game
franchise records in both gross punting average (59.6) and net average
(54.2) versus Seattle (9/11/11).
Lee has played in 128 games as a 49er, and holds the team records in
all major punting categories: punts (723), yards (33,069), gross
average (45.7), net average (38.9) and punts downed inside the 20-yard
line (209). Since 2007, Lee’s gross punting average (47.9) and net
average (40.7) both rank 2nd in the NFL in that span, while his total
number of punts downed inside the 20-yard line (147) ranks 3rd.
The 29-year-old native of Westminster, SC, starred collegiately at the
University of Pittsburgh, where he left as the school’s all-time
leader in punts (44) and yards (10,353).

It's like kicking retarded persons. Would you want to see a moment of
pain on these innocent moon faced visages? We can only use "happy
talk" when speaking about our skipper behind center. The Party Line.

3rd down and red zone stats, and score touchdowns or get yardage with his
arm and legs. No QB should go onto the field thinking he should keep the
punter on the bench.
