New Bucs kicker Zach Hocker glad for another NFL shot

New Bucs kicker Zach Hocker is on his sixth NFL team in four seasons, so his excitement to be back in a training camp is tempered by an understanding of just how hard it is to win an NFL kicking job.

"It's a blessing that I'm still getting opportunities," said Hocker, 25. "I've been home for 10 months, and I kind of thought I was on the back end of my football career. To get an opportunity like this, to come down and give it a shot was definitely a blessing. I'm just thankful they're giving me a chance.
