The Buffalo Bills were not joking around about upgrading their kicking game. They signed a punter who looks like comedian Bill Burr.
Buffalo added Cameron Johnston and kicker Matt Prater to their active roster on Monday, waiving punter Brad Robbins after just one game.
Sean McDermott now has a punter close to his likeness and a kicker close to his age.
Cameron Johnston joins Bills
Johnston, 33, is an eight-year NFL veteran who has appeared in 96 games with the Philadelphia Eagles, Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers, posting a career average of 47.3 yards per punt.
A native of Victoria, Australia, he transitioned from Aussie rules football to punting at Ohio State, where he won a national title in 2014. He was Philadelphia’s starter from 2018–20, spent three seasons with Houston, and played in Pittsburgh in 2024 before a knee injury ended his year. Johnston lost the job in training camp to Corliss Waitman in Pittsburgh this year.
Off the field, Johnston and his wife cover adoption fees for shelter dogs every time one of his punts lands inside the 20. He has 183 such kicks in his career.
