Leigh Tiffin

What do you guys think of Alabama's kicker Tiffin, as a draft possibility for the Cowboys?

no need to draft a kicker

im hoping Folk fixes his problems and is back in camp starting next year. Im sure if he fixes his mechanics hes back as the future.

Strong leg, but not particularly accurate, at least not before this year... his career FG percentage is 75.2...

He's also missed an uncommonly high number of PATs, going 132 of 137... that may be because of snapper and/or holder problems, or because he's had some blocked, I don't know...

As I mentioned in another thread in this forum a little bit ago, I'd look at Hunter Lawrence from Texas in the 7th round (he's unlikely to be drafted before that)... he's hit on 86.5 per cent of his field goals, including 13 of 15 from 40-49...

The big question mark with him is from long-range, his career long is 49 (he's only been asked to try from 50 plus once, though)... but Hunter has had touchbacks on 31 of 133 kickoffs in his career, so he has some leg strength... and if it turns out that 50 yards is about his max, well, the Boys have Der Buehler to try the really long attempts...

I'd like it if you were right...

Hunter Lawrence has the leg to hit from over 50. The guy was offered a scholarship by Mack Brown out of high school, and he's not a guy who believes in doing that. Took awhile to pan out actually, he was kicking too low but has corrected that and now looks like the hotshot he was expected to be.
