2018 NFL punting review: punt percentage and precision punting

Almost every off-season I take an analytical look at punting in the NFL in order to get a deeper understanding of how well our punter did relative to the rest of the league.

To rewind a little, the Broncos had Riley Dixon punting for us in 2016 and 2017. Dixon was a 7th round draft pick who performed well as a rookie (at least relative to other rookie punters in NFL history), but then regressed in 2017 to the point of being a liability. The Broncos were able to trade him to the Giants for a 7th round pick (conditional on Dixon being the Giants punter in 2018, which he was).
