Emiliano Salazar is San Diego’s clutch, dual-threat special teams weapon
In the 2025 season, Emiliano Salazar was a walk-off machine for San Diego, going 15-for-18 on field goals and a perfect 40-for-40 on PATs while also averaging 44.76 yards per punt for the Toreros[2]. He earned PFL Special Teams Player of the Year and a national special teams weekly honor after a game-winning kick against St. Thomas, which tells you the big story: he’s steady under pressure and can flip field position, not just split the uprights[2][5]. For a team needing a reliable kicker with a legit punting bonus, he’s a very attractive fit[1][2].
