2022 NFL Punts Downed Percentage Leaders

The share of punts a member of the kicking team stopped or touched before they could roll into the end zone. It is a control and coverage stat as much as a leg stat.

Downed punts are rare, so one or two change the percentage. In 2022, Mitch Wishnowsky (26.2%) led NFL punters in punts downed percentage, ahead of Corey Bojorquez (18.0%) and Thomas Morstead (18.0%). 33 punters qualify (minimum 30 punts). The median qualified punter had 12.5%.
