Traits That Make a Punter Prospect Great
Punter is one of my favorite positions to scout because you get plenty of reps to evaluate. But there’s a lot more to being a punter than just kicking the ball far. Other than distance, you should consider hang time, speed to kick, placement near the end zone, and consistency when scouting the top punter prospects.
Some of the factors we consider when scouting are included below.
Leg Strength
Most importantly, draft eligible punters need to have a very strong leg. Keep in mind that leg strength is a lot more than just having a high punting average, you also need to translate that strength into hang time to prevent returns and avoid outkicking your coverage.
Placement
The best punter prospects are effective with directional punts, able to consistently down the ball inside the 20 yard line, and avoid touchbacks. They need to punt within the system and have good overall accuracy and consistency.
Technique
A lot of college punters use a rugby style, but that doesn’t really fly in the NFL. Future NFL punters need to have a clean, consistent technique to generate power and hang time. They also need to get the punt off incredibly fast to avoid getting blocked.
Holding
It might not be glamorous, but punters are almost always the holder on field goals and extra points. If your punter doesn’t cleanly catch and place the ball, your kicker will struggle. It might not be the hardest part of the job, but some players are significantly better than others.
Overall Opinion of the 2025 Punter Draft Class
This is looking like an above average punting class. Most of these guys are advanced in terms of forcing fair catches and not outkicking their coverages. While the deep depth isn’t any better than average, there are at least 7 prospects with legitimate NFL hopes.
