Hekker has 97 Kick Power and 97 Kick Accuracy (both best among punters). A former high school quarterback, he is your choice for fake punts with 64 THP/65 TAS/40 TOR/79 AWR.

----------
It is interesting that McAfee has 97 KPW and 92 KAC and is 95 OVR while Hekkar has 97 KPW and 97 KAC. Is 9 points in awareness really worth that much to a punter? Personally, I think I would take the 97/97 guy who can also throw. What do you guys think?
