Roberto Aguayo faces stiff test to keep Bucs' placekicker job

LOREN ELLIOTT | Times

TAMPA — The wind is never going to be at Roberto Aguayo's back when he lines up for a field goal or extra point this offseason in his quest to remain the Bucs' kicker.

Quite frankly, short of putting everything through the uprights, it's hard to imagine what Aguayo will have to do to keep his job.

Aguayo, 23, suffered through a disappointing rookie season, and the scrutiny reached the front offices at One Buc Place.

General manager Jason Licht was vilified for his decision to trade up into the second round to select the Florida State kicker.
