Could this guy possibly be a Butker No.2? I mean Gano is good, but we need to start building a replacement. 

 

Doubt it. Butker was good enough to get drafted. It's fairly uncommon for kickers to be drafted with roughly one per year getting drafted (there's been less than 25 drafted since 2000). So since he was actually drafted it's probably fair to say that Butker was an elite kicker prospect. Slye was a 72% kicker in college. The NFL average has been right around the 85% mark for the past five straight seasons. Butker had about the same average in college, but he jumped up to 88% in his final season and that's what got him drafted. Slye's best season was 78% and it was actually 68% in his final season.

In short, Slye is a complete longshot as an NFL kicker and has no chance to make a roster unless he has improved dramatically. With that said, he's got a helluva leg. He posted a video back when he was in college of him making a 70 yarder during an indoor practice session.

Guy named Joey Slye out of Va Tech. Been on the Bucs and Giants rosters as well. Other than him being Va Tech's all-time leading scorer, I know nothing.

 VA Tech’s all time leading scorer? That’s not really much to brag about. VA Tech is one of the most overrated college FB programs out there.

Was in his bio.

Agreed, Frank Beamer could win a lot of games..... until they played a ranked team.

      Hoping you guys keep it up

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
