Former UGA star K Rodrigo Blankenship beats out Florida alum for Colts kicking job

For Georgia fans, any win over the Florida Gators is worth celebrating , even though the Bulldogs are use to being in the win column, going 3-1 over Florida in the last four years.

Former Georgia star kicker Rodrigo ‘Hot-rod’ Blankenship just got one of those wins, beating out former Florida Gator Eddy Piñeiro to win the Indianapolis Colts’ kicking duties, per NFL insider Adam Schefter.

Colts are waiving kicker Eddy Pineiro, per source, meaning Rodrigo Blankenship wins Indy’s kicking job. Pineiro did not miss a kick this preseason and could draw interest on waivers with some teams struggling at kicker right now.
