2018 NFL Punts Inside the 20 Leaders

A punt that ends inside the opponent's 20-yard line pins the offense deep. It rewards accuracy and touch, not just distance.

Count, so volume helps. See the percentage version for efficiency. In 2018, Tress Way (41) led NFL punters in punts inside the 20, ahead of Brett Kern (39) and Logan Cooke (37). 37 punters qualify.
