maybe punter yeah, but it's hard for me to believe a team would waste a valuable roster spot on someone to do kickoffs only. and he still has to prove he can, most kickers in the NFL do both.
Off the top of my head, in the Saints division which is the only one I follow closely, Carolina has a KO specialist and the punter for the blackbirds, Koenen I think, does their kick-offs. The Saints employed a KO specialist or a punter who could KO through all the John Carney years, so until he left that was 3 of the 4 teams in the SE division. I recently read an article referring to the fact that NFL kick-off averages were down and coverage stats were declining. They talked about the fact that most of the best place-kickers in the league only averaged about 60 yards on their kick-offs. David has a big field goal leg and he will get a shot some where. I see no reason he can't kick-off 60 yard line drives like the majority of place-kickers in the league are doing.

once again you are talkin about punters doing the kickoffs, no team is going to waste a roster spot on someone doing kickoffs.
