2023 NFL Punt Touchbacks Leaders

A touchback punt sails into the end zone and gives the other team the ball at its own 20, wasting most of the distance. Ties go to the punter who punted more often from the opponent's side of the 50, where touchbacks are hardest to avoid.

Fewer is better. In 2023, Rigoberto Sanchez (0) topped NFL punters in punt touchbacks, ahead of Braden Mann (1) and Mitch Wishnowsky (2). 33 punters qualify (minimum 30 punts).
