Can you please explain why there are two players that seem to do the same thing?

How do you rate a punter's skills?

How many players are eligible to play kicker or punter? Has there ever been a player that has played both positions?

Thank you for your responses.

I'm assuming it's just that kickers can kick it off the ground, while punters have to have it in their hands.
