Packers K Anders Carlson responding well to competition in Year 2
Unlike last season, when the job was handed to rookie Anders Carlson, the Green Bay Packers are currently in the throes of a heated competition at kicker.
In 2023, the team stood pat while their sixth-round pick had a turbulent year. On the surface, Carlson enjoyed a solid regular season in which he made 27 out of 33 field goal attempts (81.8 percent). By comparison, Mason Crosby, who kicked in Green Bay for 16 seasons and is the franchise’s all-time leading scorer, made 79.5 percent of his kicks as a rookie.
