2019 NFL Draft results: 49ers select Punter Mitch Wishnowsky with the No. 110 overall pick

With the San Francisco 49ers fourth round pick, and No. 110 overall in the draft, the team selects Mitch Wishnowsky, punter out of Utah. Punters are people too! The Senior and former Ute is an Australian native was also a Ray Guy finalist, an award given to the nations best punter. The 27-year old Wishnowsky was second-team AP All-American.

It’s a bit early for a punter, but the 49ers are in dire need of one. Bradley Pinion left in free agency leaving a huge void for a punter and Wishnowsky fits the bill. Go look at some of his kicks and you’ll see he might be an upgrade.

Wishnosky is an interesting character. How about this, he has ranked random objects by punt-ability.
