The Bengals already have an established kicker in Randy Bullock, but they still brought in competition this year in the form of Jon Brown. Bullock and Brown seem to be in a fair battle, although Bullock’s status as an incumbent definitely helps him. Bullock is a much more traditional NFL kicker, though, even winning a Lou Groza award en route to the NFL. Brown, on the other hand, took a much less conventional path to get to the Bengals.
Although he played football in high school – as a wide receiver – Brown was a soccer star.
