COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Anthony Lynn succinctly summed up how some head coaches view kicking competitions when talking to reporters in training camp last week.
“You know kickers, they’re a little weird,” Lynn said, smiling, when asked why Caleb Sturgis is taking it slow as he works his way back from hip surgery that cut short his 2017 campaign.
Kickers are viewed as having unique personalities, so coaches tread lightly to make sure confidence is high and they can perform on game days.
Forgive him if Lynn is extra careful around these kickers.
