For some reason I'm always surprised when I see kickers and punters among the list of players declaring early. There are three so far this year.

Michael Turk, P, Arizona State
Arryn Siposs, P, Auburn
Connor Martin, K, Baylor

I shouldn't be surprised. Kickers and punters are football players. They play a very important role in a football game. They are often the difference between a win and a loss. They have every right to enter an NFL Draft with college eligibility remaining. It still surprises me. Best of luck to them and all of the football players that are leaving college early.
