Former college punter Kyle Ulbrich touts accomplishments outside Dolphins facility in push for NFL job

The former Middle Tennessee State University punter is taking an unorthodox approach as he attempts to make himself more visible to the Miami Dolphins coaching staff.

Former college football punter Kyle Ulbrich is doing what he can to keep his NFL dream alive.

As training camps across the league began to open this week, Ulbrich was spotted just beyond the gates of the Miami Dolphins practice facility and headquarters in South Florida.

The former Middle Tennessee State star was accompanied by signs that touted some of his achievements during his time punting at the collegiate level as he pushed for the chance to showcase his skills.

One of the homemade signs even featured a QR code, which directs viewers to his personal website.

Another one of the campaign-style signs read, "Kyle Ulbrich For Punter 2024."

Ulbrich said he is simply looking for the "opportunity to prove" that he can play in the NFL.

"It's always a dream until it becomes a reality," Ulbrich wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "I just want an opportunity to prove myself."

Ulbrich faces tough competition if he wants to make the Dolphins roster. 

Punter Jake Bailey is currently at the top of the Dolphins' depth chart. Bailey spent four seasons with the New England Patriots before joining the Dolphins in 2023. He earned All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors in 2020.

Ulbrich also suggested that he would be willing to serve as the holder for Dolphins placekicker Jason Sanders.

Ulbrich had a standout season with MTSU in 2023, finishing the year with a career-best 47.1 yards per punt average and earned All-Conference honors.

However, he struggled to get punts to land inside the opposing teams 20-yard line, which could be a drawback for NFL clubs.
