Indianapolis Colts via WVU punter Pat McAfee is quietly doing his thing in camp, sending tight spirals skyward and playing the role of humble, observant rookie. Lost in all of this, though, is Pat padding his resume.

McAfee also is adjusting to using his hands more. He is expected to replace Smith not only as the Colts’ punter, but also the holder on extra points and field goal attempts.

McAfee said he occasionally held for his backups at WVU, but has no live game experience with the new task. Fortunately, he has a couple of experienced tutors. In addition to Vinatieri, Indy’s long snapper is Justin Snow, a 10-year veteran.

“You have a 10-year veteran and a 14-year veteran and then me right there in the middle,” McAfee said. “So, I’m surrounded by experience and definitely trying to learn as much as I can from both of them.

P.S. I’ve heard The Rumor about you-know-who. I’m efforting, but it appears to be smoke and no fire.
