The kicking competition in Green Bay has been narrowed down to two candidates, Anders Carlson and Greg Joseph. With the Packers waiving kicker Jack Podlesny, the focus is now on these two competitors for the job. Both Carlson and Joseph have struggled at times in their careers, with Carlson missing six field goals and five extra points as a rookie, while Joseph missed six field goals and two extra points with the Vikings last season.
Out of the three kickers, Podlesny has the least experience. He is a first-year player who was originally signed as an undrafted rookie by the Vikings in 2023 but was cut during training camp. However, he later signed with the Packers in January and had a successful college career at Georgia, making 82.4 percent of his field goals. Despite never having played in a regular-season NFL game, Podlesny’s college success may give him a chance to win the kicking competition in Green Bay.
The competition between these three kickers will be closely watched as the Packers look to solidify their special teams unit. With Carlson’s struggles from his rookie season and Joseph’s inconsistency, Podlesny could potentially emerge as the Packers’ starting kicker for the upcoming season.
