Arizona Cardinals Punting Average Leaders
Career totals with the Cardinals and the best single seasons in club history. Includes the 2026 season through October 19: these records are rebuilt every night, so a mark set yesterday is here this morning. Seasons before 1922 are not in the source. Figures before 1932 are reconstructions; the NFL kept no official statistics. Chicago Cardinals 1922-1959, St. Louis Cardinals 1960-1987, Phoenix Cardinals 1988-1993. 1944: merged with Pittsburgh as Card-Pitt. Merged-season player lines count for both franchises, as Pro-Football-Reference's franchise histories do. No schedule length in the source for 1944, so no season line that year qualifies for a rate board.
Andy Lee holds the Cardinals career record with 47.5 punting average. The single-season record is 50.6, by Blake Gillikin in 2023.
Rate records use the league's own minimums: a season needs 0.75 field goal attempts per team game, or 2.5 punts per team game on the punting boards with the club, a career 100+ field goal attempts, or 250+ punts on the punting boards with the club.
