I have finally seen fifth-round pick David Buehler kick off from the 30-yard line.
I can confirm that the 6-2, 227-pound workout warrior can boom an NFL ball into the end zone on a regular basis. He did six kickoffs before this morning's practice, all of which came down in the end zone, one 9 yards deep.
"My leg feels good," said Buehler, who wanted to get in some work before the Cowboys worked on kickoff coverage the next couple of days. "I'm just looking forward to showcasing it tomorrow."
Buehler, the workout warrior who did 25 bench press reps and ran a 4.62 40 at the combine, is also getting regular work as an upback on the punt team. That's one of the non-kicking roles he could fill during the season.
"I haven't really done special teams (other than kicking) in a while, so I'm just trying to get acclimated again," said Buehler, a scout-team fullback and safety his first season at USC. "Kicking is really my first focus, but whatever I can do to help the team, I'm going to do. They're trying to maximize my worth and see what I can do. I'm trying to capitalize on any way I can make the team."
