Brad Wing

Growing up, Wing played Australian rules football which he says has contributed to his ability to punt so accurately.

[2] The younger Wing was cut from his TAC Cup club, the Sandringham Dragons, ending his Australian rules career.

[3] At that time, family friends of the Wings in Baton Rouge, Louisiana offered to host him for his senior year of high school as part of a student exchange program while trying out American football punting.

[6] Wing gained notoriety during a game against the Florida Gators by stretching his arms out during a fake punt play on his way to a 52-yard touchdown.

[7] Going into the BCS National Championship Game against Alabama, opponents had attempted to return Wing's punts only 17 times for a total of 6 yards.

"[9] However, in a podcast episode, Wing disclosed that he was asked to leave LSU for failing drug tests.

The school did not state this publicly and instead cited "academic misconduct" and "violation of team rules" for Wing's leaving.

[9] After Wing went undrafted in the 2013 NFL draft, the Philadelphia Eagles signed him to compete with fellow former LSU punter Donnie Jones in training camp.

[13] In 2014, Wing signed a contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers to serve as the punter and holder for field goals and PATs.

33 of his punts were downed inside the 20-yard line, which tied the Giants’ single-season record set by Brad Maynard in both 1997 and 1998.

[28] He was elevated to the active roster on 30 September after Steelers starting punter Pressley Harvin was ruled out with an injury, marking Wing's first NFL game since the 2017 season.
