The Chargers cut kicker Younghoe Koo and signed Nick Novak to replace him, the team announced on Thursday.
Koo, who had previously went viral for an incredible back-flip kick, became an internet darling for his unique name and unlikely journey to the NFL. Born in South Korea, Koo did not even know what football was until he was 12. He went on to kick at Georgia State before signing with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent before the season.
Koo, 23, beat out Josh Lambo in training camp for the starting job, but his first two NFL games ended in heartbreak.
