Welcome Mitch McCarthy!
Sounds like our kind of player:
Looks like we lost Javon Tracy to Minnesota. I was really hoping to get him.
I did some research on the stats to compare him to James Evan’s and it appears they are almost identical in stats. As I was looking at James Evan’s stats over his 4 years I noticed this year he has punted over half as much as he did in any of the prior 3 years. Also, prior to this year the stats show he never had a punt downed inside the 20. This year he has 10 which is 1/3 of his punts. Just a great indicator imo to show how much better this team is.
Last year he would've needed a minimum 60 yard punt to have it downed inside the 20.
I think that stat has to be wrong though. Surely he had some every year.

I went by the career stats on ESPN. I saw it mentioned that ESPNs stats were off from other stat sources. So, it could be. I actually thought the same thing tbh.
Those stats have to be incorrect... I'm certain I've seen his punts downed inside the twenty on multiple occasions over the past couple of years...
Now this isn't an issue I care enough to carry on any major argument over but I'm just pointing out that your stat source is flawed...
It's understandable... Our own official stats (in Game Notes) show no Onside Kicks having been attempted this year while we all know that we did attempt one against Ohio $tate...
lol. Why would we need to argue about it? I said where the stats came from. You can see them for yourself at the link below. I have no idea if the stats are accurate. You would think espn would be a reliable source though. I did see someone complaining that the stats espn used for Ashton jeanty weren’t what was captured by pff. So, I’m not disagreeing at all. It is a strange stat and I thought I saw some inside the 20 in years past too, but idk.

Here's a much more accurate source... (Never take anything that big media tells you at face value, or..., as RR 🇺🇸 used to say: "Trust but Verify" 😉).
James Evans - Football - Indiana University Athletics
James Evans (94) P - Career Notes & Records Played his first downs of American football at Iowa (9/4/21) in the 2021 season opener ... pinned 20 career punts...
He's had multiple punts downed inside the 20 for multiple years (and even that source might be off 1 or 2)...
Good thing you caught that ESPN error, if an NFL GM's office underling is using those numbers to cull the Punters asked to Camp then Evans might just get screwed... He needs to contact the ESPN stat department pronto...
