2017 NFL Punts Inside the 10 Leaders

Punts whose final resting spot, after any return, was inside the receiving team's own 10. These are the best results a punt can have short of a turnover.

A count, so it rewards volume and good field position. See the inside-the-20 percentage for efficiency. In 2017, Sam Koch (21) led NFL punters in punts inside the 10, ahead of Chris Jones (20) and Marquette King (16). 35 punters qualify.
