COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers special teams coordinator George Stewart needs to fix the team's kicking game after a nightmarish first season leading that all-important third phase of the game for the Bolts.
Stewart's primary focus this offseason is selecting a kicker that can make field goals in the clutch and stay healthy for the duration of the season.
The Chargers had five different players handle field goals, kickoffs and extra points in 2017, including punter Drew Kaser. The Bolts finished a league-worst 67 percent on field goals.
Along with their struggles at kicker, the Chargers also finished worst in the NFL in kickoff starting point with an average of the 23-yard line, and were one of 11 teams without a takeaway on special teams
The Chargers signed former Philadelphia Eagles kicker Caleb Sturgis to a two-year, $4.
