Special Teams

Kicker: Robbie Gould

Punter: Bradley Pinion

Long-Snapper: Kyle Nelson

No kicker converted more field-goal attempts in the league last year than Robbie Gould (39). And only one, the Panthers’ Graham Gano, had a higher conversion percentage than Gould’s mark of 95.1.

Did Gould get a Pro Bowl snub this year? Probably. But there’s no reason to change him out this year.

And after a rough start to his pro career, punter Bradley Pinion appears to have settled in nicely to his role.

No one knows Kyle Nelson’s name, and long-snappers prefer to keep it that way.
