Punting Yards in the NFL
Introduction
- Punting is a kick performed in American football after a player drops the ball from their hands and kicks it before it hits the ground.
- Record keeping for punting yards in the NFL dates back to 1939.
Career Punting Yards Leader
- Jeff Feagles holds the record for career punting yards with 71,211.
- He never led the league in punting yards for a single season but his longevity contributed to his record.
- Feagles is the only punter to surpass 70,000 career punting yards.
- Only three other punters have exceeded 60,000 punting yards.
- Feagles also set the record for total punts in 2005 with his 1,368th, surpassing Sean Landeta.
- He retired with 1,713 career punts, still the NFL record.
Franchise Records
- Sam Koch holds the records for most punts (1,713) and punting yards (52,868) for the Baltimore Ravens.
- Koch is also ranked 7th in career punting yards.
- He is the highest-ranked punter to have spent his entire career with a single team.
- The Kansas City Chiefs have another player, yet to be named, who punted for over 50,000 yards while with the team.
Shane Lechler
- Shane Lechler ranks second in both total punts and punting yards.
- He holds the NFL record for yards per punt with an average of 47.6.
- Lechler is the only punter to lead two different franchises, the Las Vegas Raiders and Houston Texans, in career punting yards.
Net Average
- Net yards per punt, or net average, is a more revealing indicator of a punter’s performance.
- It takes into account return yardage or touchbacks, subtracted from gross punting yards.
- Logan Cooke holds the record for career net average with 43.1.
- Tommy Davis holds the unofficial record of 44.5, as net average was not officially tracked before 1976.
