After the release of Roberto Aguayo on Saturday, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Head Coach Dirk Koetter said the team would sign another kicker to share training camp reps with Nick Folk. Following a round of tryouts on Sunday, that new Buccaneer was identified: Zach Hocker.
Hocker played for two teams during the 2015 regular season, appearing in six games with the New Orleans Saints and two with the St. Louis Rams. In that time he made 10 of 14 field goal attempts, with a long of 51, and 12 of 13 extra point tries. He also punted once for 43 yards while with the Saints.
