The team at my high school had a great left-footed punter who was also the star right-handed quarterback. He was naturally left-handed but his father had trained him from preschool to be a quarterback and forced him to play "correctly".
The old Charleston rockets in the mid to late sixties had a punter named Jim Hollingsworth punted a football from the back of his end zone on the fly and it hit on the other end on the one yard line an rolled through the end zone to about twenty yards behind it. He was the most unbelievable punter I have ever seen
No video of longest punts ever is complete without the German-born UCLA Bruins / Dallas Cowboys / Kansas City Chiefs / Toronto Argonauts (and various other CFL teams) punter Zenon Andrusyshyn "The Big Z": his longest punt was 108 yards, since the CFL field is 110, not 100, yards long. Other notable feats: his longest kickoff covered 90 yards, his longest field goal was 57 yards, and his career punting average was 45.1 yards (notably impressive, since in the CFL there is no such thing as downing a punt after letting it roll around for ages— the punter is allowed to race downfield and attempt to recover it himself. Except for punts that sail out of bounds, the kicks are almost invariably fielded, precluding extra yardage from innocuous rolling).
0:54 Punt landed around the 50-yard line but because the return man didn't get in position to catch it, it bounced all the way back to the 7-yard line. 😄
Of course, credit to the punter for making a powerful enough kick to bounce back so much.
Seems like there was a 96 yard quick kick by Tennessee vs Vanderbilt in the 80s. The wind was so strong that someone missed a 23 yard field goal that fell short of the goal after reaching its pinnacle about 3 yards in front of the goal post.

2:40 – not sure what the coverage was thinking trying to bat it back. Looked like he had plenty of room to stop and keep the ball out of the end zone.

The first punt wasnt even that long
Randall Cunningham had a 91 yarder
I'm glad that the title clarified that these are football punts
Why didn't we see the Los Angeles punt?
Someone show some Ray Guy punts. Best ever consistently.
