Packers Waive P Justin Vogel

The Packers are making a change at punter. After drafting punter J.K. Scott in the fifth round of this year’s draft, they waived Justin Vogel on Friday, a source tells Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (on Twitter). 

Vogel signed with the Packers last year as an undrafted free agent and beat out Jacob Schum for the punting job. In 2017, he averaged 44.4 yards per attempt, with a net average of 41 yards. He also put 19 of his 71 punts inside of the 20-yard line.

Vogel is not considered to be on the same level as punters like Johnny Hekker of the Rams or Marquette King of the Broncos (formerly of the Raiders), but he should be able to land a camp contract after a decent showing last year.
