For years, the New York Jets’ kicker position was one of the weakest points of the roster. Poor kicking cost the Jets multiple games across the past half-decade.
The Jets allowed Jason Myers to walk in free agency following his Pro Bowl season in 2018. After that, the Jets rotated through seven kickers over the next four seasons: Sam Ficken, Matt Ammendola, Eddy Pineiro, Sergio Castillo, Alex Kessman, Chase McLaughlin, and Kaare Vedvik. Combined, the group made just 75.8% of its field goals and 87.9% of its extra points.
But the Jets may have finally found the kicking stability they’ve been looking for.
