Scouting Report
Flies under the radar as one of the better, more consistent place-kickers in the league. A genuine athlete, he has strength, speed and tackling skills to augment a strong leg on both placements and kickoffs. Elevates the ball quickly with a refined, repeatable stroke that he mastered in college, where he set FBS and school records at Florida State. His range can extend beyond 55 yards. Gets impressive loft and hang time on kickoffs, with good directional control. Lacks a track record under playoff pressure. Can improve his long-distance accuracy.
Long Range Potential: High-caliber place-kicker and special teams weapon.
