All 91 is a Pittsburgh Steelers Now series profiling each of the 91 members of the Steelers 2019 training camp roster.
4 • Jordan Berry, 5th-year punter
Last year: Played in all 16 games for the Steelers for the fourth straight season.
Stats: Punted 63 times for 2,753 yards for an average of 43.7 gross yards per punt, the second-highest of his career, but 31st in the NFL. His 28 punts downed inside the 20 tied a career high. He did not have a punt blocked, and has had just one blocked in his career.

Camp outlook: Should not have a lock on the punting job, given his low gross average and overall downturn in his fourth season, but the Steelers did not go out of their way to bring in high profile competition, going with Western Carolina undrafted free agent Ian Berryman.
Projected role: Given that he just signed a two-year, $3.7 million contract this offseason with a $750,000 signing bonus, it seems likely the Steelers will go with Berry, at least to start the season.
