Since drafting Evan McPherson in the fifth round in 2021, the kicker has set numerous franchise records in his first two years.
In McPherson’s rookie season, he went 42-47 in the regular and postseason, had twelve 50+ yard field goals made, the longest field goal in Bengals history (59 yards), had the most game-winning field goals in a Bengals season, and tallied four field goals in three different playoff games.
