For two-plus years, kicker Jake Moody took the special teams for the San Francisco 49ers on a rollercoaster ride. After a strong rookie season and appearing in a Super Bowl in his first NFL campaign, Moody's performance dropped significantly in 2024.
After what head coach Kyle Shanahan saw in Week 1 this season, the Niners decided to move on from their 2023 third-round NFL Draft choice out of Michigan.
In his place, San Francisco enlisted the services of a veteran placekicker with a more consistent track record, Eddy Pineiro.
Pineiro continues to show why the 49ers made the right choice to cut Moody.
