JK Scott, P, Alabama
Height: 6-5. Weight: 195.
Projected Round (2017): 5-7.

12/24/16: Scott has punted well this season for the Crimson Tide with an average of 47.7 yards per punt with a long of 66 yards.
when it comes to punting especially for an offense like the saints I always look at things like this

Beyond the sheer power that opened so many eyes in the postseason, though, Scott was arguably most impressive for his control. More than half of his punts (31 of 55) pinned opponents inside their own 20-yard line, the best rate in the FBS or the NFL, while only five (!) went for touchbacks. More than a third (19 of 55) were fair caught, and after accounting for return yards,2 Alabama also led the nation in net punting at 44.7 yards per attempt. (Again, that number would have led the pros.) “I haven’t really looked at my furthest distance,” Scott told al.com earlier this month, “because you could hit a 75-yard punt, but if it has no hang time and isn’t in the right place, it doesn’t do much for you because the coverage is going to be off.”
Great Scott! The Best Punter in Football Is Alabama

Then there is your P/K

Austin Rehkow, P, Idaho
Height: 6-3. Weight: 215.
Projected Round (2017): 5-7.

12/24/16: Rehkow averaged 41.6 yards per punt and made a long of 60 yards. He also was kicking field goals for Idaho and was 26-for-29 with a long of 50 yards.

8/20/16: Rehkow has been a model of consistency over three seasons. He averaged 47.8 yards per punt as a freshman and sophomore. Rehkow had long punts of 73 and 65 yards, respectively, so he has a powerful leg as well. As a junior, Rehkow averaged 45.7 yards per punt with a long of 65 yards.

Brings me back to pinning teams inside the 20. I wish punters would use coffin corner kicks. It's a lost art I tell ya
