Greg Zuerlein 2016 Outlook
As ESPN.com reminded readers, the day after the 2015 NFL season came to a close, HC Jeff Fisher wasted no time in making it clear that his team would be on the lookout for competition at kicker. Fisher's proclamation came after Zuerlein finished the season with the lowest field goal conversion rate among regular kickers and had a game-winning 48-yard field goal attempt blocked. Zuerlein was something of a sensation in his rookie season, earning nicknames like "Greg the Leg" and "Legatron" for his prodigious field goals. He still boasts one of the league's strongest legs but his accuracy, especially from long distance, has waned since those early days of his career. Among the 37 kickers who attempted a field goal in 2015, Zuerlein ranked 35th in the league in field goal percentage as he converted 20 of 30 for the season. Zuerlein was also 26 of 28 on extra points. Adding to the woes, the Rams don't boast an overwhelming offense. Take a wait-and-see approach after the season begins.
