Pete Guerriero holds the record for most times signed/released by this team. Every time I look up he's been signed or cut. https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/jets-pete-guerriero-inks-future-contract-in-green/
He's signed a futures contract so maybe being on the active roster prevented that. I'm okay with him being a camp body.
I’d be SHOCKED of we didn't DRAFT a K this year. I loved that he did it with Mann last year, and i think the same happens this year. It’s clear the position is a mess here. Not sure there is a runaway consensus #1 like Mann was, but whoever is tops on our board, i think we grab him.
I haven't been able to find rankings on over 1 or 2 draft sites, and they don't agree, but the K who was ranked #1 on one of them and #2 on the other, and who was in the top 3 or 5 of the Kicker rankings in college football is the Univ. of Miami's Jose Borregales.
https://www.espn.com/college-football/player/_/id/4046356/jose-borregales Are FG's easier in the college system? He has hit 90% but that only ranks him at 28th, he never missed an XP though, finished ranked 8th
On the list I saw, he was the #1 ranked kicker in the draft class, and #2 on another. You have to remember that when you look at the collegiate kicker rankings, there are Srs., Jr.s, Sophomores, and Freshmen all mixed in together. On a ranking of college kickers I saw he was in the top 3, not #28. I'll fine the links. https://www.drafttek.com/2021-NFL-Draft-Position-Rankings/Top-College-Kickers-2021-NFL-Draft.asp I was mistaken. He is #9 in the ranking, but everyone under him is an underclassman. He was 20 of 22 in FGs. There were a few kickers who were perfect or only missed one kick, but none of them had as many attempts as he did. He also made a 57-yard FG. https://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/individual/757
He was 28th on percentage but finished 8th best in that link I put up. I didn't put it up to challenge what you said either btw just put it up for the stats for people to see, my question was for my own learning and so will my next one. WTF is an underclassman lol I know nothing about your school system, the other 4 are bad enough but when some of these guys aren't leaving college until they are 25 it is even harder to grade for a UK guy Hell, I got my first proper full-time job at 15yo as my birthday is late August, some of these guys are 10 years older still playing college football
Maybe Ficken had a contract incentive that paid him an extra $20 with his next kick, so off the team he goes!
LOL All's good, mate. I didn't think you were trying to challenge me, but even if you had, that would have been ok. Unless it's a "Junior College," our colleges and universities have 4 years of schooling. The first is called the "freshman" year. The second is called the "sophomore" year. The third is called the "junior" year, and the fourth is called the "senior" year. A 'Junior College" is only two years. They offer "Associate Degrees" and one has to transfer elsewhere to get a full Bachelor's Degree. By the way, I don't know where ESPN got their facts from, but if you look at the NCAA link I posted, you'll see that he is ranked 9th, not 28th. The NCAA is the National Collegiate Athletic Association through which all of our colleges and universities participate. They should be more accurate than ESPN.
Normal standard US undergraduate is 4 years. NCAA rules state a player has 4 years of eligibility based around that. General entrance age is 18. “Redshirt” means you spend 1 year on an NCAA team without playing in games, which extends your team eligibility to 5 total. This means kids play until 22-23 or sometimes 24. 25 is pretty unusual but the kid could have started a year late. Some players enter the NFL draft after only 3 years though.
Underclassman is a vague term that can generally mean anything not a Senior. Sometimes it means only Freshman or Sophomore.
