Season in Review: Wil Lutz kicks to the top of the franchise

Throughout the thirteen seasons that Sean Payton has coached the New Orleans Saints, the offense has consistently been at the top of the league with perennial Pro-Bowler Drew Brees at the helm. For as consistent as the offense has been, the kicking unit has been all but that.

Of course, that was before Wil Lutz strolled into the Saints facility in 2016 after failing to land on the 53-man roster of the Baltimore Ravens. Since then, Lutz has seen his field goal percentage go up each year and has finally stabilized the merry-go-round of kickers that Payton has brought in throughout his time here.
