Punting in the NFL probably seems pretty similar to punting in college. It is a particularly specialized skill, and although certain strategies may change, they are more from team to team rather than when advancing from one level of football to the next.
For Green Bay Packers punter JK Scott, the transition from college football at Alabama to spring practices with his NFL team doesn’t feel overwhelming. Speaking to reporters during the team’s minicamp last week, Scott talked about that transition, and said that it largely comes down to one big difference: “I think that the biggest difference between college and the NFL for me is there’s much more attention to detail on the little things,” Scott said.
