However, one thing of note is that his "fair catch rate" is the highest among these 5 listed and significantly higher than several of the top choices like Turk and Baringer and he had zero (as in not a single one) touchbacks.

It seems like Simmons emphasized precision and hang time over distance with this pick, which makes sense.

Definitely a Simmons guy




Overview
Finesse punter who will be much better at pinning opponents near their own end zone than bailing his team out with power. He punts with much better hang-time than we are used to seeing from college punters and landed nearly half of his punts inside the 20-yard line in 2022.






Strengths

• Punts with above-average hang-time.
  
  
  
• Allows very few return attempts.
  
  
  
• Solid in executing directional punts.
  
  
  
• Displayed good touch with no touchbacks in 2022.
