New York Jets K Chris Naggar impresses with 71-yard FG, trick shots

After a 2020 season in which they ranked 26th in field goal percentage (75.0%) and 32nd in extra point percentage (83.3%), the kicker position was a need for the New York Jets entering the 2021 offseason.

Joe Douglas did not address the weakness in free agency or the draft, but he finally pounced following the conclusion of the seventh round, signing Southern Methodist product Chris Naggar as an undrafted free agent to compete against currently-rostered kickers Caleb McLaughlin and Sam Ficken.

The Arlington, TX native has made a name for himself on social media with his knack for attempting and converting some highly impressive kicks on the practice field.
