Philadelphia Eagles Kicker Jake Elliott defends Cody Parkey once more

Being a kicker in the NFL is not as easy as you think. While the position is pretty limited in comparison to others, it doesn’t make it all that easy – especially in today’s NFL where kickers take a lot more heat than they did back in the day with the presence of social media. If a kicker has an off day, he can expect to hear it not only by the fans in attendance but he will likely see criticism on social media as well. And if a kicker misses a critical kick with the game on the line, they may end up getting called every name under the sun.
