Most the time they are actually trying to pin the ball between the 10 and the endzone rather than just crushing it, but I hear what you're saying. Sweet gig if you can do it.
Lunch Box Just depends on how good you are. If you deserve it you will get recognized. Raiders (I know, but they still count) drafted a punter in the 1st round. Jags semi-recently drafted Pat Anger in the 3rd round. Slowly but surely they're getting more recognition
everyone should get to meet an NFL or NBA player in real life just to see how ridiculously huge they are, like comic book characters. And not just the obvious positions like center, power forward, tackle. I'm 6'2" 215 and I always feel like a little kid lol.
Jeff F. I have said this for years since I worked in a place that was frequented by NFLers. I'm not a little guy (6'1 265) and stay in decent shape but these guys...I remember one time a guy that was my height but literally had no neck came into the store. It was freakish and he was literally just a college free agent that was cut before the end of preseason.
Being a return man much through my career, I can safely say 'Punter lives matter'; and with every boomed kick caught with running room to spare.... what an awesome feeling it was. So Thank you, Mr. Football Punter Guy. Without you, we wouldn't have some of the best damn football out there.
+reycris717 No they only want it to spiral on the way up, the goal is to kick it high and make it wiggle on the way down to cause drag for a longer hang time so the returner has to fair catch it with no return... far line drive punts get ran back to the house more often because the punter outkicks the coverage.
I am not from America, but I fell in love with gridiron football, and odd as it may sound kicking is my favorite thing about it, shame that there isn't more of it in matches.
I loved punting. I routinely hit 75 yard spirals in the air during practice in high school; but kicked only in 2 games before getting injured. I kicked a 61 yarder in my first game (measured from scrimmage). I never went back although I tried to walk on in college, but the coach refused to watch me kick after I told him what I could do; so, I walked off never to return. What a shame, as I really had a passion for it. Gotta have passion for it to be good. There is nothing more gratifying than to see that ball sail in a tight spiral taking off like a jet airplane.
punting is very very big strong point for me. unfortunately I had shoulder surgery this season and missed out. but before my surgery my longest punt was about 60-65 yards with incredible hang time. I really plan on going to a camp this upcoming year to see if I can get anywhere with it.
I play punter for my middle school football team. Some people in the comment section are saying punting is probably the easiest position, it's not. Waterboy is. If anything goes wrong on a punt the punter gets blamed, not the longsnapper or the blockers. I noticed these NFL punters are kicking 70-75 yards, I am able to kick from the 50 yard line into the inzone. I think 50 yards is a pretty good punt for middle school. Punters are people too.
Everyone wants you job during the practice week, but no one wants it on game day! Great kicking, a 50 yarder is great for middle school. Would be great to have you at a camp next spring/summer!
kicker is probably the toughest mentally just because you can determine if your team wins or loses a game,punters because if you dont get enough hang time it can completly ruin your defensive chances
This is why Pat McAfee is one of the greatest punters of all time! not only the hang time he had coffin corner kicks long kicks when he needed them and he could place the ball close to the goal line every time this dude was unstoppable!
Not only that, but in situations where the Colts wanted a LONG fieldgoal, they called up McAfee rather than Vinatieri, it didn't always work out, but the fact that they trusted him to attempt long ones says a lot.
I guess I am an old guy at 54 but as a kid I remember a punter from the 70's who played for the Raiders, his name was Ray Guy and damn that guy could punt. Still the best ever in my book.
Punting is such an art that some people don't understand the details of a good punt... like kicking a spiral, not having it tumble in the air, getting the drop right.
I don’t think they saw where pat’s punt landed at 2:03 they said it was 75. That was an 85 yard punt from the 25 yard line. It landed at the back of the end zone. Guy is a beast
I once punted a ball that went 102 yards...about 60-65 in the air. When it landed it never bounced over 3-4 feet in the air but looked like the end over end bounce actually sped the ball up...it looks like these guys could do it all day.
I had Tim Masthay's father as a professor in school. One day he came in talking about how he went to his son's football game over the weekend. Of course everyone assumed it was a high school game or something. But then he subtly mentioned that it was a Packers game and everyone was like, hmmmmm wait a second....
People don't understand the importance of kickers... I play varsity Safety at my highschool, and also punter/kicker since no one else can really do it, and people don't understand why I take my kicking position much more serious than I do my Safety position. Can't be a good team without a good special teams!
Marquette is still the best punter. You need hangtime for a good punt as well as distance. That's why they said it was his match to lose (which I'm guessing he probably did only because of a once-in-a-long-while off-kick) haha.
This takes place in Whitewater Wisconsin the number 1 DIVISION 3 school in the nation. I know this because I won 2 D3 championships with this school and this is our home turf!
all of these guys have a serios boot👟 hats off to them. and trust me punting is way more athletically challenging than it seems believe me. gravity takes a lot of energy to defy
potentially the punter could be the most dangerous/versatile player on the field. In the old days the best players were the Punt , pass and kick champs. Just think about all the plays you could run without changing personnel, if a punter was also a decent QB, the fakes would be a lot more difficult to stop or predict.
My uncle kicked for the Cardinals until he got hurt...its so hard to catch a punt like this. Not only does it move around like a knuckle ball, it hits you like a hammer
People saying that all positions are of equal importance in football don't know football. Yeah all positions are important, but there are definitely certain positions much more valuable than others. A quarterback touches the ball every down of the game with much more pressure to succeed. Punting takes skill and talent, but a punter is not near as valuable as a quarterback. This doesn't mean they aren't valuable, just trying to show you the difference.
I had a once-in-a-lifetime fluke at the track stadium at LSU in the early 80's. Estimated to be about 115. I was just trying to get it to the endzone from 65. In the air over the highjump pit and half way to the steeple chase water jump. All other punts were close to the goal line. Never to do it again!
James Wagner and Clay Parker were the two scholarship punters. I was a walk-on, and not even close to being as good as those guys. Wagner used to get yelled at by Coach Stovall for kicking the ball over the fence during the kickoff return practice. Parker played for the St.Louis Cardinals(MLB) as a pitcher. Wagner disappeared after I left. Always wondered about him.
Alex Petrich BMX Because the ball would end up in the end zone and they don't want to give the other team that 20yrd cushion. So they try to punt it as close as they can to the end zone while being mindful of the bounce and hang time.
It would give the returner too much running room before the coverage (tacklers) getting downfield. Too much space and time to pick up momentum, find lanes and blocks for bigger returns.
They have to obtain certain hang time and distance so the punt team can actually go and defend properly. Kicking too long means they are going to have a harder time defending.
CupcakeSmasher - Clash Royale if i were pinned in my own endzone i wouldn't care about the coverage, just bomb that shit and hope special teams can stop the return before he covers the extra *40* *goddamn* *yards*
Well for one they aren't being rushed here, they aren't wearing pads or anything, and most kicks don't happen from inside your own 20. Besides these are some of the strongest kickers in the game, so not every kicker can do this.
It's situational too, you need to pin them behind the 5 yard line with a coffin corner punt rather than giving it to them at the 20 by way of a touchback.
Many, maaaaany moons ago, my high school football team had the state's longest losing streak. I believe it was 0-56, maybe more. We lost 100-0 in one game, lol. We didn't even have enough people for a full offensive and defensive line. Our marching band had almost 200 members. We played one team in our conference that had 1st, 2nd, and 3rd string offense and defense plus a special team but their band had about the same number as our football team. The other school let our band march during halftime on THEIR field and then cheered and gave them a standing ovation but laughed when our team ran on the field. We were everyone's homecoming game every year because every school knew they could beat us. Anyway, our field goal kicker and punter was the same guy. One cold and and very windy night it actually looked like we were going to win a game 3-0 at the last minute with a field goal kick. Our team was faced towards the school which had a tall auditorium. The ball was snapped, the ball was caught, the ball was kicked high and straight. Up Up Up it went headed straight between the uprights and the home crowd went wild.....it had been soooo long. BUT, it went so high that it caught a strong crosswind coming across the top of the auditorium and then it did something amazing. It started coming back........and it landed behind the kicker.....just like when you throw a frisbee high in the air and it lands behind you. Even worse, it was still live and the other team realized it before ours did, and they ran it for the game winning touchdown. The WTF look on our team and in the crowd was hilarious! It would have made the most awesome Norman Rockwell painting.
1:10 yo did he name pats podcast unintentionally years ahead of time
How’d I get to the point in my life where I’m watching punting videos
it took me a couple minutes to realize the guys recording weren't the ones talking...
AverageJoesFishing same here I had know clue until the guy said turn the mic on.
AverageJoesFishing 😂
JoeesFishing p
S7 Icicle of b
Same!!!
Being a punter would be so sweet. Make cash for blasting a football into the atmosphere, and no one really expects much more from you.
yeah but once u muff a punt or get one blocked your chased out of the stadium
And its safer and you get to still be a punter at like the age of freakin 40
Most the time they are actually trying to pin the ball between the 10 and the endzone rather than just crushing it, but I hear what you're saying. Sweet gig if you can do it.
true. tough to land a gig in the NFL. i dont think many get drafted. that's the dream job right there. simple. low risk of injury. get paid a lot.
Lunch Box Just depends on how good you are. If you deserve it you will get recognized. Raiders (I know, but they still count) drafted a punter in the 1st round. Jags semi-recently drafted Pat Anger in the 3rd round. Slowly but surely they're getting more recognition
Punting is SOOOOOO hard to do, huge respect for what these guys do
It really isn't that hard as a punter
@@Sin.city.very true as a punter, but it’s very hard to do what these guys do, as a punter myself
Man, that last punt traveled nearly 90 yards in the air!!!! I've lost count how many times I've argued with idiots that say NFL punters can't do this.
@Mdmchannel and trying to kick it much higher for a better hang time meaning it will be shorter
This is definitely the longest ball I've seen in the air. I've seen 85 yrds, 87 a couple of times. I had to count twice to make sure I saw it right.
Marquet King's 87 yd punt never fail to amaze everyone
Kawaii Sauske he's beast for sure
Who else was waiting for one of them to be short?
same
Ali Ahsan me
Thought they were going to keep going until they found a winner
this is literally the point of the video, to wait for somebody to kick short of everybody else..
every punt after the first minute my thought was "there's no way this one makes it"...
but in madden 17 they only kick to the 30 from there
true
Yea, but that's madden, not real football
they don't have to deal with snaps, defenders, or weather here
they have to deal with weather here...
haha....no man they turned the wind off for this. didn't you hear?
I would rather see kickers do this in the Probowl than actually play a Probowl
The Pro Bowl is so lame now. It's basically touch football. I haven't watched it in years.
@@jeffgreen3376 So how would you know if you haven't watched it in years? You kinda contradicted yourself...
Jeff Green swan Taylor buddy
LurKing yea
funny how they look like regular guys here, on NFL teams they look like shrimp lol
TickleMeShlomo Marquette King looks like a linebacker
CRothyy Nah Khalil Mack would eat him up lol. For a normal guy Marquette is big tho
everyone should get to meet an NFL or NBA player in real life just to see how ridiculously huge they are, like comic book characters. And not just the obvious positions like center, power forward, tackle. I'm 6'2" 215 and I always feel like a little kid lol.

Pat McAfee is 6'3 235 lbs.. not a small guy by any means.
"she gone"
"that's a ball"
just like my ex
+Justin Edwards funniest part of the vid xD
Justin Edwards lmao punter slang. Never thought about it
must be a thing
"That's a ball.... she gone..... and THAT's a ball..... she gone.... nice ball.... she gone..... GREAT ball"
what i learned from this video is that those were some great balls
Being a return man much through my career, I can safely say 'Punter lives matter'; and with every boomed kick caught with running room to spare.... what an awesome feeling it was.
So Thank you, Mr. Football Punter Guy. Without you, we wouldn't have some of the best damn football out there.
they put better spirals on the ball then i can with my hands
+BrokenGames|Road to 300! im guessing that the spiral makes it travel farther so it would rather spiral it
+reycris717 No they only want it to spiral on the way up, the goal is to kick it high and make it wiggle on the way down to cause drag for a longer hang time so the returner has to fair catch it with no return... far line drive punts get ran back to the house more often because the punter outkicks the coverage.
Jason Nelson makes sense thanks for that
+reycris717 | No problem my dude! take care
This is insane! I feel like I'd be waiting forever for those punts to come down for a return...
Mr. Wise Bruh. Stop fishing. Just say: "Hey everybody, I'm a kick returner!!" You'll get more attention😑
It's about the same hang time as game punt it's just going a lot further
I Am so stoked the Raiders got Marquette after having Lechler for so long. Lechler should have still been in this vid.
That would have been epic
"She Gone"
I am not from America, but I fell in love with gridiron football, and odd as it may sound kicking is my favorite thing about it, shame that there isn't more of it in matches.
Im british and i love gridiron
There was a lot of kicking in the college championship…
its nice to see them all together having a great time
coach: that is a ball
me: indeed it is

That's great! Looking forward to getting some work in!
Jerry Antonucci is not as good as the first woman to win the title
Jerry Antonucci what does a shoulder injury have to do with punting?
Madden God prob couldnt hold the ball or move the hand idk
Jerry Antonucci good luck to you hope you become an nfl punter

Bro I see you in your future,your gonna be the next Travis Boltz
+Erik Gjelsvik Don't you mean Travis Baltz. :)
kicker is probably the toughest mentally just because you can determine if your team wins or loses a game,punters because if you dont get enough hang time it can completly ruin your defensive chances
I feel like field goal kickers are more important than punters
Much respect for these great athletes. This is not easy to accomplish.
I hyper-extended my knee just watching that... Awesome!
I thought i was something kicking 65 yards UNTIL I suited up and had 9 lineman trying to kill me. Live game AVG 50-55...longest was 60
This is why Pat McAfee is one of the greatest punters of all time! not only the hang time he had coffin corner kicks long kicks when he needed them and he could place the ball close to the goal line every time this dude was unstoppable!
Not only that, but in situations where the Colts wanted a LONG fieldgoal, they called up McAfee rather than Vinatieri, it didn't always work out, but the fact that they trusted him to attempt long ones says a lot.
Well, recommended videos showed my favorite team's punter (The Saints) had commentated this video!
I guess I am an old guy at 54 but as a kid I remember a punter from the 70's who played for the Raiders, his name was Ray Guy and damn that guy could punt. Still the best ever in my book.
TheJer1963 well I mean that’s why he’s the only punter in the HOF
My favorite punter from my favorite team wins
That's because all the Packer do well nowadays is punt ! lol kidding...
He got cut.
Packers suck though.
to be fair, he said they were his favorite, didn't say they were good.
Korbin Meink classic bandwagoner mentality. go home, bandwagoner.
I love that this took place at my alma mater. Go Warhawks!
They didn't invite Shane Lechler because they didn't need to.
He's kicking from his house.
Being from the Raider nation is like icing on the cake. just win baby!!!
Like wtf, these dudes are legends, My biggest ball last year was only 52 from the line if scrimmage with no bounce
C St. Peter So 2/3 of their punts. Tell you how talented they are.
They could all probably do 52 with their off foot haha.
Punting is such an art that some people don't understand the details of a good punt... like kicking a spiral, not having it tumble in the air, getting the drop right.
marquette king such a beast
It's cool to see that at the most elite of the elite at what they do, these punters all kick on average pretty much the same distance.
I was a punter growing up. I wish I trained harder and my coaches didn't drive me away.
I don’t think they saw where pat’s punt landed at 2:03 they said it was 75. That was an 85 yard punt from the 25 yard line. It landed at the back of the end zone. Guy is a beast
Pat McAfee is good
Jon a Ryan is better
#represent go colts
already 23+s thx everyone!
Marquette is good too
At first I read McCafe
When i was a kid we would look forward to watching Ray Guy. If someone was away from the TV you'd let them know he was about to punt. He was a weapon.
A more impressive challenge would be: who can land the ball closest to the goal line without going into the endzone
“Pat McAfee Show” coined here.
I once punted a ball that went 102 yards...about 60-65 in the air. When it landed it never bounced over 3-4 feet in the air but looked like the end over end bounce actually sped the ball up...it looks like these guys could do it all day.
Camp is at Wisconsin-Whitewater. Proud to say I worked grounds crew on that field.
I would have loved to seen shane lechler out there
Alexander Nunez Agreed! Glad the Raiders snagged Marquette after having the GREAT Shane Lechler for so long. Shane lets it rip.
Hey I have The same name as you
Evil4l3x88 😂😂
I had Tim Masthay's father as a professor in school. One day he came in talking about how he went to his son's football game over the weekend. Of course everyone assumed it was a high school game or something. But then he subtly mentioned that it was a Packers game and everyone was like, hmmmmm wait a second....
And the packers don't even have mastay anymore
The whole time I'm hoping Marquette king would win. He is my favorite punter and he is helping my boy Deestroying
Anyone else wish they could have stood in the end zone and tried to catch the ball?
Punters and kickers are a breed all of their own. I couldn't kick the ball a fraction of the distance that these guys are able to...
People don't understand the importance of kickers...
I play varsity Safety at my highschool, and also punter/kicker since no one else can really do it, and people don't understand why I take my kicking position much more serious than I do my Safety position. Can't be a good team without a good special teams!
Anyone remember Reggie Roby? I remember one pregame, he warmed up by hitting the ceiling of the Superdome.
#punterlivesmatter
#HillaryDontMatter
Who would have thought out of all the kickers in the video, Pat Mcafee would be the voice of reason in the sports world.
Marquette is still the best punter. You need hangtime for a good punt as well as distance. That's why they said it was his match to lose (which I'm guessing he probably did only because of a once-in-a-long-while off-kick) haha.

no more like john Ryan. mvp!!!!
all of these guys have a serios boot👟 hats off to them. and trust me punting is way more athletically challenging than it seems believe me. gravity takes a lot of energy to defy
Wanted to see Andy Lee from the Niners out there.
I could watch this all day.

Raider Nation ! Marquette King!
I agree raiders!
lol, you know the raiders best player would have to be the punter!
Hes gonna help them win alot....Hes the last person you want on the field.
Win lose or tie I'm a raider till I die
Raiders👌
Alright, so now we know Masthay can punt at the camp. Now he's just gotta translate that to the actual game.
Here I am thinking i'm the all time best kicking 10 yards and trowing 15.
Sup3rNov4 I’m 12 and I punt 40 yards throw 25
Little did they know about McAfee
Literally so sad Marquette king is no longer in the raiders ❤️
My uncle kicked for the Cardinals until he got hurt...its so hard to catch a punt like this. Not only does it move around like a knuckle ball, it hits you like a hammer

unless that punter can run a 4.4 40yd dash
Amazing camera work
i wonder why they were at whitewaters field
I wished the sound was as clear as it is in the games so we could really hear the sound of the ball coming off of their foot.
Is that UW-Whitewater? I'm from Wisconsin boy
+CamDaMan 9 Wisconsin represent!
Whitewater Warhawks, best division 3 football team.
Was thinking the same thing I live in Janesville
+TheMW2informer same, what high school
+CamDaMan 9 Lol I live in Hayward.
I took up punting when I was 40, no training but enjoyed it. Longest punt, in the air, was 40 yards. These guys are beasts.
Check the air pressure in those balls.
crimdell the lower the pressure the shorter for punters and kickers
They do it so effortlessly too.
i could do all this, I just don't want to.
Dude this is at whitewater college?? I live like 40 minutes away
Nobody can top ray guy. 95 yards in the air pregame...... But GO TERPS!!
I had a once-in-a-lifetime fluke at the track stadium at LSU in the early 80's. Estimated to be about 115. I was just trying to get it to the endzone from 65. In the air over the highjump pit and half way to the steeple chase water jump. All other punts were close to the goal line. Never to do it again!

Ray Guy (Oakland) was king. His punts were typically 80 yards. The announcers would frequently say, "That ball came down with icicles".
the guy talking really liked that ball. he kept complimenting it
where is mike scifres????
thanks for the vid, it was fun to watch the seeds going forth!
nuts that a punt can go as far as a kick. those are some tough legs. holy hell
People in Camden County, GA told me of seeing Ray Guy punt 130 yards.
so tim matsay won but gets a 67 card in madden wtf
i know right?!
+Retro Gamer Productions YEAH THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING LIKE WTF
Green Bay Players always get underrated. Unless your Aaron Rodgers
Steven Paul
Like Clay Matthews and morgan burnett
lol.... madden
Cool vid, tnx 4posting!!
why don't they punt this far in game?
Alex Petrich BMX Because the ball would end up in the end zone and they don't want to give the other team that 20yrd cushion. So they try to punt it as close as they can to the end zone while being mindful of the bounce and hang time.
Well, and its a little harder to do that with pads on.
Alex Petrich BMX They would out kick their point coverage.
Alex Petrich BMX punt
It would give the returner too much running room before the coverage (tacklers) getting downfield. Too much space and time to pick up momentum, find lanes and blocks for bigger returns.
2:06 it went through the field goal
These guys should play aussie rules football
No
They get payed way more to do less work
Pungga as an American I love footy but punters in the NFL make more money than many of AFL stars
It seems like the Punters are characters and have personalities!
I’m gunna train my son right out of the whome to be the best punker in the nfl and make a lot of money just for kicking a ball
Still curious how many Twitter followers mcafee got from this video
where is this shit in game?!? nfl kickers avg about 40yds/punt, but these dudes are booming it 80+
They have to obtain certain hang time and distance so the punt team can actually go and defend properly. Kicking too long means they are going to have a harder time defending.
CupcakeSmasher - Clash Royale if i were pinned in my own endzone i wouldn't care about the coverage, just bomb that shit and hope special teams can stop the return before he covers the extra *40* *goddamn* *yards*

It's situational too, you need to pin them behind the 5 yard line with a coffin corner punt rather than giving it to them at the 20 by way of a touchback.
oldfrend if you kick it to far then returners have easier time. i wouldn't want tyreke to get 20 yards of running before my defender even touches him.
Just the sound of that very first punt got my attention.
And where's Johnny Hekker? Guess they didn't want to lost to a ginger
+13BahamutG But they DID lose to a ginger :) (Tim Masthay)

Many, maaaaany moons ago, my high school football team had the state's longest losing streak. I believe it was 0-56, maybe more. We lost 100-0 in one game, lol. We didn't even have enough people for a full offensive and defensive line. Our marching band had almost 200 members. We played one team in our conference that had 1st, 2nd, and 3rd string offense and defense plus a special team but their band had about the same number as our football team. The other school let our band march during halftime on THEIR field and then cheered and gave them a standing ovation but laughed when our team ran on the field. We were everyone's homecoming game every year because every school knew they could beat us.
Anyway, our field goal kicker and punter was the same guy. One cold and and very windy night it actually looked like we were going to win a game 3-0 at the last minute with a field goal kick. Our team was faced towards the school which had a tall auditorium. The ball was snapped, the ball was caught, the ball was kicked high and straight. Up Up Up it went headed straight between the uprights and the home crowd went wild.....it had been soooo long. BUT, it went so high that it caught a strong crosswind coming across the top of the auditorium and then it did something amazing. It started coming back........and it landed behind the kicker.....just like when you throw a frisbee high in the air and it lands behind you. Even worse, it was still live and the other team realized it before ours did, and they ran it for the game winning touchdown. The WTF look on our team and in the crowd was hilarious! It would have made the most awesome Norman Rockwell painting.
