What is the shortest punt in the NFL?

Answer 1

In a game in 1985 between the Washington Redskins and Chicago Bears, the Redskins punter, Jeff Hayes, suffered a knee injury and could not perform his duties. QB Joe Theismann volunteered to punt. On his first punt, he shanked the ball off the side of his foot and the ball went exactly one yard past the line of scrimmage. Seattle Seahawks Punter Ruben Rodriguez during a game in the late 80's kicked a ball so poorly it went almost directy up in the air above his head. It was untouched and rolled near the scrimmage line, eventually losing two yards on the play.

Answer 2

QB Joe Theismann volunteered to punt. He shanked it and went exactly 1 yard

This answer was probably correct until today (09/10/11) when Johnny Hekker of Oregon State just kicked for a whopping NEGATIVE FOUR yards.
