This is interesting. I did not know that so few drafted kickers became successful with the team that drafted them. (Maybe that’s why so few are drafted, despite the importance of the position.). You would think that kickers who were great in college would almost automatically succeed in the NFL because what they do is essentially the same both places, especially for guys who kicked at major programs in front of NFL-size crowds. I would think the adjustment would be greater for guys like Bass, who kicked at smaller schools, in front of smaller crowds, presumably with less pressure.
