Sadly, it’s usually based off your gross average, because out of the 2100ish players and coaches voting, maybe 75 actually know what constitutes good punting. The rest just look at who’s the first name on the gross average list and vote for that person.https://twitter.com/NikolasMeurett/status/1169929707401486336 …

For example, there were a couple years where Morstead from the Saints should have gone to the Pro Bowl (his only appearance was 2012) due to his combination of directional accuracy, hang time, and distance, but because he didn’t lead in gross average, he didn’t go.

This is also why Shane Lechler went to approximately a billion Pro Bowls - the Raiders of that time were not good, so he had lots of long field punts, leading the league in gross, but it frequently came at the expense of long returns against them or touchbacks.

(And don’t get me wrong, Lechler was a good punter, but distance isn’t everything. This is also why net average can be deceiving, because it factors in your coverage team, which isn’t something you can control.)

Could you devise a rough formula to guide voters? I think, in all sports, the voters are in an information deficit when trying to decide. Something like a WAR for punters?
