2020 NFL Punts Downed Leaders

A downed punt is one a member of the kicking team stops or touches to keep it from rolling into the end zone.

It is a coverage and control stat as much as a leg stat. In 2020, Kevin Huber (15) led NFL punters in punts downed, ahead of Matt Haack (15) and Jake Bailey (15). 35 punters qualify.
