2019 NFL Kickoff Out of Bounds Percentage Leaders

The share of kickoffs that crossed a sideline before anyone touched them. It is a penalty and gives the receiving team good field position.

Lowest comes first. Most specialists are at or near zero. In 2019, Justin Tucker (0.0%) topped NFL kickoff specialists in kickoff out of bounds percentage, ahead of Bradley Pinion (0.0%) and Harrison Butker (0.0%). 32 kickoff specialists qualify (minimum 30 kickoffs). The median qualified kickoff specialist had 0.0%.

NFL rule from 2016 to 2023: a kickoff touchback started the receiving team at its 25 (from 2023 a fair catch inside the 25 did too), so a deep kick into the end zone was the safe, standard result. Kickoff Points Added accounts for the rule, so it is the fair way to compare kickoff specialists across leagues and seasons.
