Jack Podlesny, a rookie free agency kicker, was added to the green bay packers’ 90-man roster for the summer, according to the team.
Just less than a week after anders carlson’s devastating 41-yard pass to the san francisco 49ers in the packers’ 24–21 divisional-round playoff loss, a new leg is headed to wisconsin.
Podlesny, a first-year player who was cut last summer after signing with the minnesota vikings as an undrafted rookie, is pronounced “pod-lez-knee.” For the starting position in 2024, two-time national champion podlesny of georgia will face carlson of auburn in the sixth round. Podlesny will start fresh in green bay, while carlson, the NFL’s leading extra-point attempts, had at least one missed kick in ten of the packers’ previous twelve games (including the playoffs) packers coach matt lafleur addressed his team’s kicker issue in a press conference held at the end of the season.
On monday, lafleur declared, “we’re going to always bring in competition because we want competition at every level.” “i really believe that rivalry brings out the best in people.”
