2026 NFL Punts Out of Bounds Leaders

A punt out of bounds cannot be returned and stops the clock. Punters aim for the sideline near the opponent's end zone.

Some are chosen, some are mistakes. In 2026, Jeremy Crawshaw (11) led NFL punters in punts out of bounds, ahead of Braden Mann (8) and Michael Dickson (8). 26 punters qualify. This season is in progress (through Week 7), so the numbers change each week.
