Pittsburgh Steelers fans already know that their team employs arguably the best kicker in the NFL with Chris Boswell. Still, there’s usually intrigue behind him on the depth chart through the preseason as the team gives their veteran sniper some much-deserved rest ahead of the season.
This year, former Pitt Panther Ben Sauls was the man kicking most of the field goals for the Steelers. Boswell attempted just one extra point this preseason, while Sauls stared down the goal posts 12 total times.
All of Sauls’ efforts for the black and gold this preseason were an audition for other kicker-needy teams across the NFL.
