VIDEO: NFL Free Agent Gives A Shockingly Depressing Behind-The-Scenes Look At His Tryout With The Washington Commanders
The NFL is a hardcore business, and the 100-plus NFL players who aren’t on a roster definitely know that. Former Cincinnati Bengals and current free agent punter Drue Chrisman is the most recent example.
Chrisman played for the Bengals in 2022 after being signed by the franchise in that December. After sitting out the regular season, the 27-year-old came in and enjoyed great success in the playoffs.
He punted 28 times in four games, averaging nearly 50 yards per punt. His longest punt was 65 yards, amongst the over 1300 total yards. However, that remains the only game action he has seen throughout his career.
After being released by the Bengals in August of 2023, Chrisman went all of 2023 without signing with another team before getting a call from the Washington Commanders. Not only did he get an interview, but he decided to post about the trip on social media.
