Kicker: Blair Walsh, MIN

Blair Walsh did have a bit of a down year percentage-wise, connecting on 26 of 35 field goal attempts in 2014. That being said, his 89.7% success rate for the first two years of his career suggest that he probably just had a tough year. Walsh still connected on five field goals from 50+ yards last season, and his work on kickoffs are unrivaled in the division. Walsh has incredible leg strength, which helps him become the best kicker in the NFC North.

Punter: Sam Martin, DET

It is fairly difficult to judge how good a punter is, but Sam Martin seems to be one of the up-and-comers at the position. He is considered to be getting much better as a punter, and that is good enough for me to place him on this team, as there is little competition at the position.

RET: Marcus Sherels, MIN

Primarily a punt returner, Marcus Sherels led the NFC North with 297 punt return yards last season. He is never going to blow you away with his raw speed or athleticism, but Sherels is a solid returner who you can depend on to make the right move. The Vikings are in very good hands with Sherels lining up deep to return punts.
