per FSN:

The stats indicate that Minnesota's Peter Mortell was the best punter in the Big Ten last season.

The retweets and favorites show that he might have been the funniest, too.

When Mortell isn't busy leading the Big Ten in punting -- he averaged 45.1 yards per punt in 2014, tops in the conference -- he's quick to crack a joke or make people laugh on Twitter. Mortell, who will be a redshirt senior this fall, is arguably the Gophers' funniest tweeter. His account (@PMortell37) has nearly 4,000 followers, and he's also partially responsible for another account run by Minnesota's specialists (@MinnSpecialists).

As good as Mortell is at tweeting, though, he'd rather be known as one of the best punters in college football.

"I love making jokes on Twitter. I think people know that I have a pretty good sense of humor," Mortell said. "But at the same time, I want people to understand that when I come on the football field that I'm fully business and I know how to switch that attitude pretty quick."

Go Gophers!!
 

And that's the way it should be with every player. Work hard on the field and enjoy life off of it.
