2026 NFL Longest Punts Leaders
Each punter's longest punt of the season in gross yards. Tailwinds, altitude and a punt that rolls can all add yards.
A single punt: it says little about a season. In 2026, Corey Bojorquez (81 yds) led NFL punters in longest punts, ahead of Jordan Stout (78 yds) and Daniel Whelan (75 yds). 33 punters qualify. The median qualified punter had 63 yds. This season is in progress (through Week 7), so the numbers change each week.
