I know, I know. Kickers in the NFL tend to get no love but in the grand scheme of things, they hold very important positions. If you’re about to tie or win a close game towards the end of the 4th quarter and it comes down to a field goal as the game is to expire, ideally, you’d want one heck of a kicker to get the job done. The New York Jets are hoping to find such a kicker heading into training camp.
During the offseason, the Jets acquired two kickers to have competition for the starting kicker job.
