After over a week of speculation about their kicker situation, the Atlanta Falcons announced this afternoon that they are releasing Younghoe Koo after seven seasons with the team. Koo played his college career at Georgia Southern and signed with the Falcons after a tryout with the team in October of 2019.
During his time with the Falcons, Koo was mostly consistent and one of the best in the NFL. Koo led the NFL in field goals made with 37 during the 2020 season, in which he was selected to the Pro Bowl.
In his career with the Falcons, Koo recorded 178 made field goals, including 29 from 50-plus yards.
