Mims: Broncos' Best Player is a Punter!
7 Nov
Summary
- Wide receiver Marvin Mims named punter Jeremy Crawshaw the team's best player.
- Crawshaw leads the league in punt yardage with 1,968 yards.
- He has landed 18 punts inside the 20-yard line, second most in the NFL.
Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims has surprisingly named punter Jeremy Crawshaw as the team's most impactful player this season. Mims highlighted Crawshaw's crucial role in controlling field position, emphasizing that his precise punts are vital to the team's success, even if often overlooked.
Crawshaw's performance statistics support this high praise. He has punted for a league-leading 1,968 yards and is tied for the second-highest net punt average. Furthermore, he has successfully pinned opponents inside their own 20-yard line 18 times, a mark that ranks second across the NFL. His impressive 68-yard punt is also among the longest this year.
These contributions have solidified Crawshaw's position on the team. He was named to the PFWA All-Rookie team in 2025, and his performance has validated the Broncos' decision to draft him over veteran Matt Heck. The Broncos are set to face the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Sunday for Week 9, where Crawshaw's field-flipping abilities will be on display.
