Here’s a fun fact: of the 35 players who made at least ten NFL punts last season, 17 were undrafted out of college. You might have thought that more punters would have come from the UDFA ranks, but it’s just as likely that a team used a draft pick on a punter as it is that they didn’t.
Also, if you’re wondering: the drafted punters had a better average last season. Barely (45.77 to 45.01, gross).
The Buffalo Bills have two punters in camp this season, both of whom took the undrafted route to the NFL.
