Pat McAfee is PFF’s highest-graded punter of 2010s

Former Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee was a steady contributor on special teams throughout his career and gained some recognition from Pro Football Focus.

The fan-favorite in McAfee was graded as the best punter of the decade from 2010–2019 by Pro Football Focus with a grade of 95.3. New Orleans Saints punter Thomas Morestead (92.4) and Los Angeles Rams punter Johnny Hekker (91.0) closely followed in the rankings.

McAfee earned two Pro Bowl selections (2014, 2016) and one All-Pro selection (2014) during his eight-year career in Indy. He played in all 16 games every season until his retirement before the 2017 campaign.

Of his 575 career punts, 193 of them were downed inside the 20-yard line. He also averaged 46.4 yards per punt while recording a career-high 49.4 during his final season.

McAfee brought a charismatic persona to the position—a spot that rarely gets any recognition. But his run with the Colts was great and strong enough to earn the highest-graded spot of the decade from Pro Football Focus.
