NFL Divisions ranked by position groups

With the offensive and defensive position rankings complete, the kicker and punter edition is the last one left. For this, I will first be focusing on the kicker rankings, then I will do the punter rankings right after.

For the kickers, I will be presenting the stats for why these teams/players/divisions are in their respective positions. The player rankings will be done by focusing first on total field goals made (FGM), and if there is a tie, field goal percentage (FG%) and total 50+ yard field goals will be considered. After that, the numbers for those rankings will be combined, and the divisions will be ranked. The lower the number, the better.

I will explain how I am ranking the punters before that section starts.

Let’s start!
