Even though staple quality punters like Hekker and Lee have been around for a while, the very stat that is lauded is often not telling the true story.
Average punter length or even nett avg can be deceiving.

2020 Avg 44.1 Nett 40.1 Return Avg 7ypr

The other 2 seem to be out punting their coverage!
Joseph Charlton 47.0 avg 43.0 net 6.7 Avg return. UDFA! Don't waste picks on punters good ones go undrafted every year
