Heading into the 2019 season, there was little reason to speculate about the state of the specialists on the Carolina Panthers’ roster. Kicker Graham Gano, punter Michael Palardy, and longsnapper J.J. Jansen were all firmly entrenched veterans who had been productive members of the team for years. Some surprise leg soreness out of the high-priced placekicker, however, has led to the emergence of Joey Slye. The Virginia Tech product has shown some incredible consistency so far this preseason, making all six field goals he’s attempted and both extra points. Perhaps even more impressive has been his leg strength.
