I think he was expecting to go higher in the the 4th round. But I did read pre-draft that he could go in the 3rd round. There were predictions of him going early to mid 4th round too. It looks like 2 or 3 teams were planning on taking him before our 5th round pick. Punter Ray Guy (Hall of Fame) is the player he is most compared to. Ray Guy was a 1st round punter pick (23rd overall pick of the draft). I used to love watching him kick. He was definitely a weapon... his team won 3 Super Bowls with him as their punter. He played for 13 seasons.

The Bears had a press conference about an hour ago at the rookie minicamp. There were three people speaking: Waldron, Washington and Hightower.
Hightower was part of the NFL's working group that came up with the lates change in the kick-off/return rules changes. He discussed the rules changes as well as why he is so pumped to get Taylor. The following link should get you positioned in the video to where Washington's segment starts.
