2019 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 2019, Brett Kern (37) led NFL punters in punts inside the 20, ahead of Jake Bailey (36) and Michael Dickson (34). 39 punters qualify.
