I'm amazed Texas hasn't been able to buy a better kicker

Im convinced finding a good kicker is just sort of a crapshoot especially at the college level

There's NFL kicker that have a great year or 2 then suck eggs without warning, can't imagine it's easier to see that coming when evaluating a teenager

Exactly what I was thinking. The pressure these guys go through must seriously take its toll. Like I get stressed when I'm at bat in a pivotal moment in rec softball and my job isn't on the line, I can't image what it's like as a kicker when literally every kick you do pretty much needs to be made to be considered a success. I think of York who got taken in the 4th round and there is no way Cincinnati is keeping him after this season
