Background
Wing was born in Melbourne, Australia.
Wing was born in Melbourne, Australia.
He attended Parkview Baptist High School, where he was named All-State, and received a scholarship offer from Louisiana State University.
He was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent in 2013. He played college football at Louisiana State University. He was also the first college football player to be penalized under a new rule regarding on-field taunting. Growing up, Brad played Australian rules football which he says has contributed to his ability to punt so accurately.
The younger Wing was cut from his TAC Cup club, the Sandringham Dragons, ending his Australian rules career.
Notably, he did not recognize Louisiana State University head coach Les Miles when the latter made his first visit to recruit him. He had to be told who Miles was.
His family moved to Baton Rouge during the 2011 season in order to be with him during his Louisiana State University career. In the summer of 2011, Wing was arrested for simple battery of Cameron Chabert, and was issued a misdemeanor summons.
As a redshirt freshman, Wing averaged 43.0 yards per punt in 42 punts with a long of 73 yards through 12 games.
That same year he landed 20 punts inside the opponent"s 20-yard line. From Louisiana State University"s red zone Wing kicked a 73-yard punt, hitting a camera wire, forcing overtime. Wing gained notoriety during a game against the Florida Gators by stretching his arms out during a fake punt play on his way to a 52-yard touchdown.
Because of a new rule taking effect that season, Wing was penalized, and the touchdown was nullified.
Going into the British Computer Society National Championship Game against Alabama, opponents had attempted to return Wing"s punts only 17 times for a total of 6 yards. During 2011 and 2012, Wing averaged 44.6 yards per punt, which is the highest in school history for a player with at least 100 punts.
However, Wing was suspended from the 2012 Chick-fil-A Bowl for an undisclosed violation of team rules. On 4 January 2013, Wing announced that he would enter the 2013 NFL Draft.
Philadelphia Eagles
After Wing went undrafted in the 2013 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles signed him to compete with Donnie Jones as the team"s punter.
On 25 August 2013, Wing was released by the Eagles. Pittsburgh Steelers
In 2014, Wing signed a contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers to serve as the punter and holder for field goals and PATs. In the fourth quarter of a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, his punt went only 29 yards, giving the ball to the Buccaneers at the Steelers" 46-yard line with 40 seconds to go.
The Buccaneers scored the game-winning touchdown a few plays later.
In a game against the Baltimore Ravens on 2 November 2014, following a botched snap on a point-after kick for which Wing was the holder, Wing completed a pass to Matt Spaeth for a two-point conversion. New York Giants
On 4 September 2015, Wing was traded to the New York Giants for a seventh round draft pick.
After the Giants acquired Wing from the Steelers, veteran punter Steve Weatherford was released the same day.
