Thats big...and you know he had a bounce that got it there. Id did notice his touchback % dropped significantly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeds Orange Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 He's not fat enough. I like my kickers fat and prone to choking in pressure situations. Seriously, though, I don't understand the lack of respect that kickers get in the draft (not from this board, but in general). This is a position that can almost single-handedly (or single "footedly") win or lose games. I don't know as much football as some of you, but it seems that it's downplayed too much. It's similar with managers in baseball. A team won't pay a manager who has a history of fielding winning teams because the salary is too high, but they'll pay the same amount or more for a utility infielder. I just don't get it.

Cricket Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 This kid really throws himself into the kick (Watch the videos, one of them really points this out). I have real concerns about him slipping, especially in rain/snow and/or crappy playing surfaces like Heinz Field. 😟 🦗 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Some perspective...... https://www.cincyjungle.com/2021/5/19/22430021/bengals-2021-draft-picks-rookie-seasons That much was easy (picking Chase as top impact rookie). Ranking the rest of the draft class in terms of who might be expected to contribute the most in the upcoming season will be a little more difficult. But here goes. This next name might come as something of a surprise, but expect kicker Evan McPherson, Cincinnati’s fifth round selection out of Florida, to have a huge impact in 2021. Last year, the Bengals lost five games by five points or less, and tied another one. Since 2018, missed kicks by Cincinnati kickers have cost the Bengals 46 points (14 missed field goals and four missed extra points). Seven of those games were one score losses. At Florida, McPherson set an SEC record for career field goal percentage by making 51 of 60 attempts, and made 149 of 150 extra point tries. He also made five of his eight career field goal attempts from 50 yards or more. Leg strength is definitely not a problem, as McPherson has purportedly hit from between 65 and 68 yards in practice.

If you are going to draft a kicker he had better be a stud. Hope that continues, but playing in the SEC is a lot different than the AFC North in November and December. Tough conditions.
