A look at Jack Fox’s college and professional career

Fox played four years at Rice University from 2015 to 2018 and appeared in 49 games. He punted 212 times for 9,207 yards, averaged 43.4 yards per punt, and 74 punts landed inside the 20‑yard line. His college career was decorated. That earned him honors such as Conference USA Special Teams Player of the Year in 2018, First‑Team All‑Conference USA, and a spot as a Ray Guy Award semifinalist.

Undrafted in 2019, Fox signed briefly with the Kansas City Chiefs before joining the Detroit Lions’ practice squad. He made his NFL debut in 2020 and quickly established himself as a reliable punter, setting franchise records for gross and net punting averages. By 2024, he led the league with a 51.0-yard gross average and 46.2 net average, earning First Team All‑Pro honors and his second Pro Bowl selection.

Jack Fox’s brand endorsements

As of 2025, there are no confirmed major brand endorsement deals for Fox. Despite his top-tier performance, including leading the NFL in gross and net punting averages and earning multiple Pro Bowl selections, he has yet to secure high-profile sponsorships. This reflects a wider trend in the league where punters rarely attract large endorsement contracts, even when they stand out as elite performers.

Jack Fox has proven that even positions often overlooked can hold immense value in the NFL. Through consistent excellence and record-setting performances, he has secured both recognition and financial stability as one of the league’s top punters.
