The football player punts the ball. The definition of a punt is a dropping of a ball to be kicked before it touches the ground. An example of a punt is a football player kicking the ball to his teammates. Punt is defined as to put an idea aside or to drop a football and kick it before it hits the ground.
When a punt play is called in, the opposing team will place a punt returner at the far end of the field where they predict the kick will come down. Once caught, the player may attempt to run the ball and improve their team's field position. This is known as a punt return.
