Special Teams:
Phil Dawson - Great veteran kicker, is basically money from within 50 yds, and can make a few beyond that as well. Still one of the NFLs premier kickers, but I hope we don't have to rely on him so much though but it's good to have insurance. Grade: B+
Andy Lee: King of the Coffin Corner Punt. He has both power and accuracy and is one of the NFLs best if not the best in the NFL and he's still relatively young at 32. If I'm not mistaken he's one of the leagues highest paid punters as well, but he's worth it. Grade: A
Colton Schmidt: A young backup punter, I don't think he'll make the team, but he may be punter a few years down the line Grade: C-
Kevin McDermott - our new longsnapper, he ousted Brian Jennings who was becoming too expensive for the 49ers to keep. He's very reliable for a young long snapper and has a bright future. Grade: B
Kyle Nelson - Most likely a scout teams long snapper Grade: D-
In conclusion, with Brad Seely as the special teams coach out unit will be one of the leagues best, we're smart discipline and rarely make silly penalties. Our Punter and kicker are among the leagues best. This will always be an unsung unit. Grade: A-
