Haack averaged 4.41 seconds of hang time in his punts against the wind, while Araiza averaged only 3.81 seconds. Araiza’s average hang time with the wind (4.05 seconds) was even less than Haack’s kicking against the wind. From a returnability standpoint, Haack probably gets the slight edge on Tuesday in not allowing the returner to get as much of a runway, despite averaging fewer yards per kick. Expand Bills OTAs Perhaps all the talk and energy regarding Araiza’s ability to hold should’ve been focused on his lack of hang time. Need him to get that aspect of his game solidified. He has only punted competitively for one year. 2 Quote

Closer to midfield or from the opponents' side, it would be Haack 😆 Expand Some teams did not have a “draftable” grade on Araiza for exactly this reason. 70 yard punts are fun to watch, but if the hang time sucks or they go flying through the end zone, they’re not great for practical purposes. There’s a reason that Araiza was the third punter drafted. Here’s hoping he can learn to put some hang time on his kicks. He’s like the punter version of Josh Allen: all the physical talent in the world, but needs to be coached up and get his mechanics right. 1 Quote
