My uncle was an NFL punter, a good one too. Seemed pretty easy, and was a lame position to say “my uncle was in the NFL.” Until I saw it in real life. He booted that ball so dang far, and it amazed me. It’s also super funny to be a fan of an NFL punter. It’s like you want your team to fail so that you get to see your player.
I really enjoyed this video, it's nice listening to someone talk about their passion. It was interesting to learn about a position that is commonly overlooked, and how much actually goes into the punt. Even though I'm not a punter and have never played football on a team, your video inspires me to go and work on what I love to do! Great stuff man.
I have been watching some of your videos and when I seen this pop up I was instantly interested. Punting is something that takes a lot of skills and is very under appreciated. Thanks for this.
I know it's difficult. Very difficult. We built a little FG post in the back yard with some old lumber when I was a kid and that was hard to kick. I tried to punt the ball many times too. That's not easy either. I could probably punt the ball 20-25 yards at my best, but not accurately or with much hang time. I could kick a soccer ball a mile, but a football, much more difficult. How they kick and punt it in the NFL is unbelievable.
Look up Jordan Vann, Troup County Highschool Lagrange Ga. I remembered he kicked from the 12 yard line and it went like 75+ yards in the air with like a 5+ sec hang time!
In high school, there was a punter with a club foot. He did the barefoot bit. Couldn't punt it over 35 yards, but he could drop that ball on a dime. Wonder what ever became of him?
To punt a football. Easy. To do it well, consistently, place balls on command, have hang time, deal with wind and people charging at you, very very difficult.
This has brought a lot of insight to me 🙏Great vid! my one remaining question I've had all these years is... why do all football teams have punters and kickers played by two different people? Is kicking also am entirely different skill set?
I’m pretty late but, as the guy above me said, it destroys your leg. But in punting you need to do the work in catching and dropping the ball vs kicking where you get someone to do that with a stationary ball
All sports look easy when are you doing it backyard style…Once you start doing it for a school or professional it starts to get real technical real fast 😂😂
When I was young I had a freakin BOOT. I wish somebody in my life couldve convinced me you can make a career out of kickin footballs, I wouldve tried so so much harder to excel
So the real heroes are the punters..... Right. This reminds me of languishing through a Naval aviator tell me that landing an F-18 on a carrier is like throwing a golf ball across a large room and hitting a postage stamp on the other side. I'm not saying it's easy, but......... c'mon man. If it was that hard, well... it isn't. So I challenge the aforementioned aviator to hit said stamp with said golf ball and I even offer to cut the distance in half. He refuses. So let's be realistic. The biggest problem punters have is that their team has just failed it's mission right before you do your job. Every single time! The fans are NEVER happy to see you come on to the field. If you do really well, they'll be happy until the commercial break that always follows your punt, then they'll forget about you and hope they don't get to see you again. A true emotional roller coaster. How do you handle it....... ? It's the best damn job in the NFL!!

Thank you for your kind words
Anyone can punt a ball 20-30 yards but the technique and power to send it spiraling 60 yards takes a lot of skill
Thought my smoke detector was on fritz with all those beeps...
I just checked all detectors in my flat :D
yeah got me too😅
Me too.
Me three
You are the best youtuber I’ve ever been subbed too. You deserve so much more love. Coming from a freshman kicker in high.
You're gonna make me cry bro! Thank you so much! I greatly appreciate it and will keep making content for those who like it!

So much good information Im going to start applying to my training, thank you
The music in the back is the icing on the cake
I’m bad at punting
🎩🎩🎩🎩
Ah yesss!!! Spiral punts!! Beautiful!!!
I'm bad at punting but you left your mouse on the screen at 5:34

this was a really great vid!! I wanna get into punting for my final season of Uniball (Britain), so there's not much competition lol
Do it! and send me the clips haha!
Isaac, enjoyable, but take a second for yourself. Go change that fire alarm battery.
You leave me alone 😂😭

Does this work on cats too?
I advise you not to try
We should have a best ball contest.
Question 🙋♂️
Is this the actual points of contact to kick a spiral?

Because it would absolutely destroy your leg. Not sure exactly how but Pt McAfee answered it pretty recently.

lmao you're hilarious bro, great video!
great video. thanks
Good shit man

I love punters there the best! but I am an Aussie
Loved the video, but for God sakes change the battery in your smoke alarm.
I am two apartments away from that smoke alarm now, it will no longer bother you
@@IsaacPunts awesome. I noticed the video was older after I made the comment. Lol
Replace your smoke detector batteries. Not only is it annoyingly distracting from an otherwise great video, it's dangerous.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Good lord man, get a battery!
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
I am German and playing soccer all my life for over 10 yrs I was immediately the best punter in college (nope I hate playing Goalie)
Simple answer: DIFFICULT
I am a freshman kicker/punter in high school…. and it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done XD
Fix your smoke detector
When I was young I had a freakin BOOT. I wish somebody in my life couldve convinced me you can make a career out of kickin footballs, I wouldve tried so so much harder to excel
Yup, that’s basically what my uncle did, and he got to the NFL so you’re strategy could have worked!
I'm very bad at punting :(
God bless you all and your families 🙏🏽✝️🛐🛐
Change your god damn batteries in your fire alarm
Wasn’t expecting this video to be like 😅 that…
i want to start punting but i have no where to punt consistently, is there anyway to practice punting without a big area?

It's the best damn job in the NFL!!
Is being able to punt a ball 45-55 yards (counting LOS 30-40 yards) good for a freshman in HS?
Yes, that's a really good start!
Hell yeah, keep at it bro👏👏
I ak definitely bad at punting. Am I hearing a dead alarm battery???
anyone can punt a football but it’s very very difficult to hit a spiral and turn it over
I watched the first 3:15,went out to got the football tried it for my self,I was horrible 😂
Well at least you gave it a shot!
its easy to punt but difficult to be good at it
It’s the hardest easy thing I’ve ever done 😂

I'm abysmal at punting
I can teach you
I’m considered joining football for punting now. I tried it with a real ball and I’m not that bad
