Football fans were saying the same about Chicago Bears rookie punter after a video of his powerful leg at minicamp quickly went viral.

Tory Taylor, who turns 27 on July 10, was drafted by both the Bears and the CFL’s BC Lions. Chicago selected the Melbourne, Australia native with a fourth-round pick (No. 122 overall) in last month’s NFL Draft.

ESPN Chicago’s Danny Zederman shared a viral video of Taylor displaying his incredible leg at the Bears’ rookie minicamp session on Friday. Just look at this near-perfect punt from the 2023 Ray Guy Award winner:

And football fans were all saying the same thing about Taylor after this video went viral:

After drafting Taylor, the Bears waived Trenton Gill, who spent the previous two years as the team’s punter. The 25-year-old Gill averaged 46.1 yards per punt (67 total punts) last season and remains a free agent.

The Bears Have A Promising Set Of Rookies, Including Tory Taylor Entering 2024

Chicago has been mired in mediocrity over the last 15 years, but they’re finally on track to emerge as a long-term Super Bowl contender. And it’s thanks largely to the grade-A draft that GM Ryan Poles put together in Detroit.

For starters, the Bears used the No. 1 pick (courtesy of the Carolina Panthers from the Bryce Young trade) on USC quarterback and 2022 Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams. Regarded as one of the best QB prospects of the 21st century, Williams has the skill set to be the franchise-changing signal-caller the Bears haven’t had in the Super Bowl era.

Chicago also used the No. 9 pick on can’t-miss Washington WR prospect Rome Odunze. If there weren’t so many QB-needy teams in this year’s draft, Odunze would have been a top-five draft selection.

And if Taylor can lock down the Bears’ punting job, this will have the makings of being one of the greatest individual team draft classes in recent memory.

REPORT: Gisele Bundchen Divorce Jokes Were “Fair Game” Going Into Tom Brady Roast On Netflix As Former Supermodel Advised To “Get A Sense Of Humor”

Tom Brady’s ex-wife, Gisele Bundchen, has been advised to “get a sense of humor” following reports claiming she was upset over his roast.

Brady and Bundchen’s divorce was the subject of many of the jokes belted out during the live Netflix event on Sunday night.

The former quarterback reportedly apologized to Gisele, even though he had no control over the jokes at the roast. His kids were the only prohibited material, and apparently, so was Robert Kraft.

Gisele, however, was understood to be pissed off after hearing the many barbs about her split from Tom and her new relationship with jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente. According to Page Six, the 43-year-old felt hurt all over again because Brady put football over his family once more.

“Everything was all in good fun,” an insider told said publication. “Gisele needs to get a sense of humor.

“Just like with any roast neither Tom, nor any of the participants knew what was going to be said about them. But as with any roast they target public parts of your life.”

Gisele Should Have Kept Her Private Business Private, Says Someone Who Helped Produce The Roast

Page Six has also quoted someone involved in the roast’s production who said, “If Gisele wanted to keep her relationship private, she shouldn’t have been making out with her jiu-jiu instructor in the middle of the street.”

This was in reference to Gisele and Joaquim getting spotted kissing in Miami back in February.

“She showed more than just her cards that Valentine’s day,” they added, calling the divorce jokes “fair game.”

It isn’t clear when Gisele and Joaquim began dating.

Recent reports claimed the model was seeing her current boyfriend while she was still married to Brady. Despite the rumors, she insists she never cheated on the former quarterback. Instead, she claims she began her relationship with the jiu-jitsu instructor in 2023.
