It’s rare to see NFL teams draft punters, let alone trade up to do so in the fifth round, but that’s what Seattle did to acquire Michael Dickson, and the move has paid off over the past seven seasons. Dickson kicked off his career by earning first-team AP All-Pro and Pro-Bowl honors as a rookie, and through the 2024 season, Dickson’s 48.2 career punt average ranks third in NFL history. Dickson also heads into his eighth season with the Seahawks already ranked second, behind Jon Ryan, for most punts downed inside the 20 with 212, and the three highest single-season averages and net averages in Seahawks history all belong to Dickson, as does the team’s highest career net average (42.9).
