Saying that Anders Carlson had an inconsistent rookie year for the Green Bay Packers in 2023 would be a study in understatement. The 6th-round draft pick missed more place-kicks than any other kicker in the NFL last year, with six missed field goals and five missed PATs. Those 11 misses were one more than New England’s Chad Ryland, a fellow rookie who missed ten total kicks.
It should come as no surprise that the Packers are looking to provide Carlson with competition this year. The team already signed another young kicker, but reportedly was interested in bringing in a veteran in free agency.
