2024 NFL Draft kicker and punter rankings
Top Punter: Tory Taylor, Iowa: The top special teams player in this year's draft is Iowa Tory Taylor who has a good chance of being a day two pick. He set the Big Ten record with a career averag of 46.2 yards per punt and also set the NCAA single-season record for punting yards record had stood for 84 years. In addition to his strong leg, he also does a great job of pinning opponents inside the 10-yard line.
Overall Punter Rankings
1. Tory Taylor, Iowa (fourth round)
2. Ryan Sanborn, Texas (sixth round)
3. Matthew Hayball, Vanderbilt (seventh round)
4. Austin McNamara, Texas Tech (seventh round)
Top Kicker: Joshua Karty, Stanford: While I don’t have any field goal kicker carrying more than a sixth-round grade, Stanford’s Joshua Karty should be the top kicker selected. During his career, he connected on 85% of his kicks including making every attempt in 2022. He also has gone an impressive 24-27 on kicks from over 40 yards over the past two seasons.
