It might not exactly make for headline news, short of drafting a mediocre kicker in the second round, but the Cincinnati Bengals are having themselves a bit of a placekicker competition this offseason after moving on from veteran Mike Nugent last season in the midst of an inconsistent performance that they are hoping to avoid repeating.
Last season, the Bengals ranked 24th in the league with their kickers posting a field goal success rate of just 80 percent for the year, successfully hitting on only 28 of 35 field goal attempts over the course of the year.
