[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 833682"] In his one year of FBS play last season (previously at Assumption College), he hit 3 of 5 from 50+ with a long of 54. That's not bad, typical of Crosby's numbers. However, LSU had a kickoff specialist last season, a freshman named Avery Atkins. Now, Atkins is something of kickoff savant, with LSU leading the NCAA in touchback percentage, who on at least one occasion put the ball in the stands on the fly. It might be that Tracy isn't so bad on KOs. I just might be that Atkins was so good at it. It's not like Crosby's touchback % is all that great, actually well below average among NFL kickers last season: [URL]http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?seasonType=REG&d-447263-n=1&d-447263-o=2&d-447263-p=1&statisticPositionCategory=KICKOFF_KICKER&d-447263-s=KICKOFF_TOUCHBACKS_PERCENTAGE&tabSeq=1&season=2018&Submit=Go&experience=&archive=false&conference=null&qualified=false[/URL] That's assuming touchbacks are optimal. 3 yards deep, tempting the guy to try to take it out to the 26 without fumbling, could be another approach. In any case, the rookie tryouts came and went with Tracy unsigned. Note that Ficken had 11 touchbacks on 13 KOs, the highest percentage in the league on a limited sample. Evidently he has the leg strength. Whether he can consistently split the uprights remains to be seen. Given this will be his 5th. season since graduating college, with only two brief stints with the Rams, I wouldn't hold my breath. [/QUOTE]
