The Bengals signed P Kevin Huber, a fifth-round pick from Cincinnati, on Thursday.

As a senior, Huber averaged 45.0 yards on 60 punts. He led the nation in punting average as a junior in 2007 (46.9 yards per punt). In Pro Football Weekly 's 2009 Draft Preview, personnel analyst Nolan Nawrocki described Huber as a "(g)ood-sized, directional lefty who shows the ability to keep the ball outside the numbers."

Huber is expected to be the Bengals' punter. The club released Kyle Larson, their punter from a season ago, after the draft.
