For any position in the NFL, it’s critical. But maybe none moreso than a kicker. If that’s your role, you better be able to handle the pressure.
So far, so good for Chris Boswell.
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ fourth kicker of 2015 has been, in a sense, a hero for the Steelers. After Josh Scobee flamed out, Boswell was scuttled in during the season and as you know, has been nothing short of a success. In six games, he’s made all 10/11 extra points and 14/15 field goals. Mike Tomlin couldn’t describe what has made the first-year player so calm but it doesn’t make him any less appreciative of that fact.
