Could this guy possibly be a Butker No.2? I mean Gano is good, but we need to start building a replacement. 

 

Doubt it. Butker was good enough to get drafted. It's fairly uncommon for kickers to be drafted with roughly one per year getting drafted (there's been less than 25 drafted since 2000). So since he was actually drafted it's probably fair to say that Butker was an elite kicker prospect. Slye was a 72% kicker in college. The NFL average has been right around the 85% mark for the past five straight seasons. Butker had about the same average in college, but he jumped up to 88% in his final season and that's what got him drafted. Slye's best season was 78% and it was actually 68% in his final season.

In short, Slye is a complete longshot as an NFL kicker and has no chance to make a roster unless he has improved dramatically. With that said, he's got a helluva leg. He posted a video back when he was in college of him making a 70 yarder during an indoor practice session.

Guy named Joey Slye out of Va Tech. Been on the Bucs and Giants rosters as well. Other than him being Va Tech's all-time leading scorer, I know nothing.

 VA Tech’s all time leading scorer? That’s not really much to brag about. VA Tech is one of the most overrated college FB programs out there.

Was in his bio.

Agreed, Frank Beamer could win a lot of games..... until they played a ranked team.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I agree with you he is clear cut #1 CB and it isn’t particularly close. And I really like Johnson as well. WR I don’t think he is the best right now but most likely has the highest ceiling. His body control and athleticism is generationally elite. He cannot run routes tho lol he’s out there playing backyard. That can be taught, but I think he ends up a full time CB in the NFL

      He is overwhelmingly the best prospect in this draft. There is zero question at all about this.  To suggest otherwise is being purposely ignorant.

      Legette. Wrist surgery?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      If we had reporters covering this team who were worth their weight in salt, we'd know.  This is an lingering injury from 2021 that he re-aggravated week 9--He claimed to need surgery on December 12.  David Newton and Joe Person should be all over this until they have a response--which should take one phone call
