Cleveland Browns General Manager John Dorsey and head coach Freddie Kitchens outlined several areas that they wanted to improve with this year’s roster. And one of those was the kicker position.
Incumbent Greg Joseph went 17-of-20 on field goals last year for Cleveland, but had issues with getting the ball into the end zone on kickoffs, which resulted in quite a few long run backs with unnecessary added yardage.
Dorsey then drafted Austin Seibert of Oklahoma in the fifth round of April’s NFL Draft to compete for the starting position.
Neither guy has been consistent with making field goals in training camp although Joseph has the edge.
