At long last, Wil Lutz is healthy.
What initially appeared to be a manageable groin injury, actually kept the Georgia State alumnus sidelined for the entire 2021 season. In his absence, the New Orleans Saints tried to find the answer through multiple kickers, largely with Aldrick Rosas and Brett Maher.
After assuming the starting role late last season, Maher was able to finish the season with decent numbers, hitting nearly 90% of his attempts. However, the hole created by Lutz’s absence was evident throughout the season.
A Lutz-lacking Saints kicking room last year combined for 106 points.
