I don't THINK that is the case. He was 2-2 inside 40 and 2-5 from 40+ in preseason, but when you go back and check his college stats it tells a different story.

He was 12-18 for 66.6% from 30-39 in his last 2 seasons at Memphis.

However, from 40-49 yards he was 18-21 for 85.7% and from 50+ he was 4-5 for 80%.

I emphasized "think", because I didn't watch every Memphis game, so I don't know if some of those kicks under 40 were blocked which could be skewing his percentages a bit.

At least I was right about him being pretty good on long kicks.

Hopefully the problems from 30-39 go away, because there was no reason for him to be that bad from 30-39 when he was that good from 40-49 and 50+....

Kicking should be easier in the nfl than in college(hashes are closer). So has to all be in kickers heads to not succeed. Hopefully the 61 yarder helps his confidence.
