Few teams in the NFL have a definitive need at kicker like the Los Angeles Rams do and they might want to turn their attention to Michigan for a UFL star who could land a lucrative deal when his season is over. That kicker is Jake Bates and he represents an opportunity that the Rams might not want to let slip away.
In two games, Bates has regularly been good from over 60 yards, including a game-winning 64-yarder in Week 1 to beat the St. Louis Battlehawks. The official make came after Bates hit the same 64-yard kick right after a timeout was called, so he actually made it twice.
