The Denver Broncos selected Florida punter Jeremy Crawshaw with the 216th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL draft on Saturday afternoon.
Crawshaw played four years at the University of Florida. As a freshman, Crawshaw was named to the All-SEC Freshman Team. A rugby-style punter, Crawshaw set a school record for punting average (48.9 yards per punt) in 2023, and ranked fifth in the FBS in 2024 with 45.7 yards per punt.

Crawshaw was the first punter selected in the 2025 NFL draft. There were two kickers selected before him.
The Broncos have been looking for a field-flipping punter after Riley Dixon struggled late in the season to change the field position in a major way. New Broncos special teams coach Darren Rizzi will have a great chance to teach this Aussie how the thin Mile High air can truly change the game.
The Broncos' final selection, pending a trade, will be the 241st overall selection. The pick was obtained via trade from the Houston Texans in the sixth round.
