Matt Bosher 3rd Best Punter in Maden 16 Rankings

Punters aren't the most appreciated players in the NFL, but there's a scarcity of stars at the position who can consistently stick and do the singular, high-pressure job they're tasked with on the gridiron.  

EA Sports' Madden 16 revealed its top five punters on Sunday. Leading the way is Indianapolis Colts first-team All-Pro Pat McAfee, whose prowess makes life difficult for adversaries who already have to deal with stud quarterback Andrew Luck and Indy's explosive passing game.

Below is a list of the top five punters and the notable attributes that make them elite in the eyes of Madden creators:

Top 5 Punters in 'Madden 16'

Rank	Player	Team	Overall Rating	Notable Attributes
1	Pat McAfee	Indianapolis Colts	95	97 Kick Power, 92 Kick Accuracy, 88 Awareness
2	Johnny Hekker	St. Louis Rams	93	97 Kick Power, 97 Kick Accuracy, 79 Awareness
3	Matt Bosher	Atlanta Falcons	92	92 Kick Power, 97 Kick Accuracy, 83 Awareness
4	Thomas Morstead	New Orleans Saints	91	95 Kick Power, 91 Kick Accuracy, 86 Awareness
5	Sam Martin	Detroit Lions	91	96 Kick Power, 95 Kick Accuracy, 80 Awareness

Checking in at No. 3 in Madden 16 is Atlanta Falcons punter Matt Bosher. Only Hekker matches the 97 kick accuracy Bosher boasts, and such precision is particularly useful when trying to finagle a punt inside the 20.

Bosher is in line for another big year in 2015—and may not be leaned on quite as heavily. The Falcons have a new coach in Dan Quinn whose experience in Seattle figures to upgrade the defense. Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan has a zone-blocking scheme capable of fixing Atlanta's rushing woes too.
