GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers kicker Anders Carlson hopes to follow his older brother’s example by having a productive NFL career despite struggling as a rookie.
Along the way, he’s paying attention to the message he’s received from his sibling: Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson.
“Just be who I am, stay the course,” the Packers second-year player said. “That’s the biggest thing.”
The Packers selected Carlson out of Auburn in the sixth round of the 2023 draft to replace Mason Crosby, who had kicked for Green Bay since 2007 and set the franchise’s career scoring record.
