The Los Angeles Chargers had tried everything. Kickers that were drafted, kickers that weren’t drafted. They tried highly-touted prospects and long-term veterans. They couldn’t seem to find an answer.
Enter Mike Badgley, the most unlikely name on the list. In fact, it wasn’t long ago, mystified at his signing, that I wrote about three kickers that were better options than Badgley.
Well, we can toss that all out the window now that we’ve seen Badgley kick.
This guy has been a rock of confidence since joining the squad. He’s missed just one field goal in 15 attempts and is 20-for-21 on his extra point kicks to this point.
