Its more to the point that an NFL kicker has to kick it high.
They have to be reasonably accurate as they do not want to kick it into the end zone, but give it plenty of hang time to get the chasers there

If you can combine height, length and accuracy then you stand a chance at making it.

What do you mean accuracy ??
An NFL punt kicker don't necessarily have to be pin point accurate the aim of a punt kicker is to kick it as far as possible. The reason only some afl players get picked up is because there ball is so much harder to kick then a normal afl or even rugby league ball and there is a total different technique then the way afl players punt the ball, afl player kick mire on the point of the ball where in NFL u can't kick the ball on the point it wouldn't go anywhere coz the ball is much skinnier at the point of the ball.. And hayne has a massive boot on him so if he could get it right with an NFL ball he would definitely be looked at by NFL clubs

I don't think an AFL ball is harder to kick at all... I remember getting one of those when i was young and could kick it a lot further than a league ball.
