DRAFT TRACKER 2022

Nicknamed "Punt God," Araiza possesses elite power and field-flipping ability that could make him the highest-drafted punter since Todd Sauerbrun went 56th overall in 1995. Punts explode off his instep at a low launch angle with tremendous velocity and force. He has less regard for hang-time and coverage considerations than NFL special teams coaches will so he may be asked to dial back the long-ball mentality and dial in with more control from all field positions. Araiza has rare power and should continue to fine-tune his craft with more coaching and experience. If he learns to kick with more consistent control, the sky's the limit.

Handled both kicking and punting duties but will be a full-time punter at the next level. Stout combines quality power with outstanding touch to flip fields and throw darts depending upon his positioning. He hangs the ball up to limit returns and rarely boots it into the end zone. He's consistent and works with quick operation time. He has the makings of a steady, long-term NFL punter.

Highly decorated four-year punter with kickoff ability to boot. Camarda has NFL operation time and leg strength but was a little inconsistent hitting the football in 2021. He's an accurate directional punter with touch but hasn't learned to control nose-down punts, which has led to touchbacks after the bounce. He's no lock for a spot but should be in contention to earn a job within the first two years.

Teams will need to balance Wright's impressive hang-time and distance combination against his single season as a plus punter. He will need to eliminate some of his touchbacks on half-field punts but his ability to consistently punt with distance while limiting the opponent's returns was impressive. He might not be drafted, but his strong 2021 campaign should earn him a look in camp.

Hayes lacks the hang-time and consistent drive power teams will be looking for but he's an absolute dart-thrower as a coffin-corner punter. He has outstanding control to park opponents near their own end zone but might not be well-rounded enough to find an NFL home.

Punter with good size but an average leg and mediocre control by NFL standards. He has the physical tools, but lacks consistency with his coffin-corner kicks and distance with his open-field punting. Gill improved over the second half of the season and will need to continue on that path to make an NFL roster.
