Cowboys safety Jeff Heath fills in at punter against 49ers
Dallas Cowboys safety Jeff Heath’s experience as a high school punter came in handy on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.
Heath kicked off five times for the Cowboys on Sunday after kicker Dan Bailey exited with a groin injury.
Below is a video of one of Heath’s kickoffs in the second quarter.
