Bill Belichick has adapted to Tom Maginness, his first rugby-style punter
Posted Sep 10, 2025
The ball left Tom Maginness’ foot on his rugby-style punt on a rainy night in Charlotte after a three-and-out deep in UNC territory, soaring 55 yards. It was the kind of punt Bill Belichick loves. A play that flips the field and makes it easier for his defense. Belichick has built a strong special teams identity, and that includes his punter from Melbourne, Australia.
