Packers request visit for standout UFL kicker Jake Bates

The Green Bay Packers are one of several teams interested in hosting UFL kicker Jake Bates on a visit, according to Aaron Wilson.

Bates, who spent time with the Houston Texans during the offseason in 2023, connected on 17 of 22 field goals during the regular season for the Michigan Panthers. He made 11 of 12 kicks between 20 and 49 yards and was 6-for-10 on kicks of at least 50 yards, including a long make of 64 yards. The 64-yarder — a game winner vs. St. Louis — was the longest made field goal in the UFL.
