Punters:
Adam Podlesh (JAC) – Though Podlesh hasn’t boomed a lot of his punts, he does a good job with hang time and limiting return yardage on the back end, putting him in the top 10 of net punting. He’s a nice young punter who should continue to punt at a high level.
Sam Koch (BAL) – Koch has been a nice consistent punter who has improved on his work pinning the ball inside the 20.
Daniel Sepulveda (PIT) – Sepulveda has a strong leg and should be a top 10 punter for the next decade. He wasn’t great pinning teams in the 20, but his net hasn’t suffered as a result.
Kickers:
Matt Prater (DEN) – The opportunities haven’t come as frequently, but Prater remains a reliable kicker with a strong leg. He’s accurate inside of 40 and has the leg to boot the long ones. He’s very strong on kickoffs too.
Ryan Longwell (MIN) – Longwell, like Prater, hasn’t had as many attempts this season, but has missed only one all season. To be fair, he has attempted only one beyond 40 this year, but has the leg to still hit from around 50. He’s a good clutch kicker and happy in a dome.
David Akers (PHI) – As a virtually lifelong Eagle, I don’t expect the two sides to part ways now. He’s drilled numerous game-winners and still has the leg to hit beyond 50. The two sides will probably get a deal done shortly after the season.
Adam Vinatieri (IND) – Though he’s getting up there in age, Vinatieri’s accuracy hasn’t wavered much. In the dome, Vinatieri and Indy seem like a great match as he starts to lose a little on his leg.
