Bradley Alexander Pinion was born in Concord, North Carolina, on June 1, 1994. In the NFL, he is a punter.
It didn’t begin when he felt led by God to leave the San Francisco 49ers, his only NFL team, and accept a four-year contract with the Buccaneers this past March.
Pinion spent his first four seasons in San Francisco, and despite the team’s struggles, he established himself as one of the league’s best punters.
