2024 NFL Inside the 20 Percentage Leaders

The share of a punter's punts that end inside the opponent's 20-yard line. It removes volume from the comparison.

Field position matters: punters who punt from midfield have more chances than those punting from their own end. In 2024, Matthew Hayball (54.7%) led NFL punters in inside the 20 percentage, ahead of Ethan Evans (54.5%) and Tommy Townsend (50.6%). 30 punters qualify (minimum 30 punts). The median qualified punter had 41.1%.
