For the first time in what seems like a decade, there’s some positive kicker news coming from the Chargers
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Bolts are in the works to extend kicker Dustin Hopkins. The contract is expected to be finalized sometime this week.
After being signed by the Chargers in week seven of this past season, Hopkins converted on 18-of-20 field goals with a long of 50 yards. He also knocked home 30-of-32 PATs. His 88.2 conversion rate for the 2021 season was the second-best mark of his seven-year career.
The Chargers, for too long, have been viewed as one of the worst kicker situations in the NFL over the past five seasons.
