Brady Balhorn noted special teams scout:
P1: Jeremy Stout
67 punts: 46.0 yards per punt, 35 inside-20, 3 touchbacks, 30 fair catches (44.8%)
He gets great hang time on his kicks, and is one of the most accurate punters in the nation, easily commanding spin and offering plus traits as a directional kicker.
He also forced fair catches on 45% of his kicks, which was near the top in the nation.
P2: Matt Araiza
79 punts: 51.2 yards per punt, 37 inside-20, 15 touchbacks, 17 fair catches (21.5%)
“ Araiza has the biggest leg in the draft, there’s no doubt about that”
“but he still needs a lot of work on his accuracy”
“his propensity to outkick his coverage and ridiculous number of touchbacks make it hard for a team to take him on as a rookie.”
“he really needs to convert some of his power into extra hang time and work on controlling his spin off his kicks.”
I personally think Stout is a far better locker room guy than Araiza.
