2025 NFL Draft: Kickers and Punters

The 2025 NFL Draft is nearly upon us, and teams are always looking for a path to the roster for their picks. Specifically in the late rounds, you might be trying to decide between a deep rosterable player or even a priority practice squad add, but if you have a spot open at kicker or punter, you might be able to add an important piece.

This year’s class of punters and kickers isn’t as plentiful as years past, and after our NFL Draft experts from our 32 NFL team sites voted, only one was considered draftable this year.

Borregales has the accuracy and the leg to make it as an NFL kicker, going 18-of-19 in 2024 including two field goals over 50 yards. He’s also known to come through in high-pressure situations. He doesn’t have the strongest leg out there, but the consistency is there. His brother spent the 2021 offseason with the Buccaneers and stayed on their practice squad that year.

While our experts only think one player should be drafted this year. We could see a few more have their names called on the broadcast, especially by a team that has a clear need at one of the two spots but is pretty set elsewhere. That way they won’t need to negotiate with the players as priority UDFAs.
