UDFA - Ryan Fitzgerald K Florida State

[Bear Hands]

Thought this should get some attention being Matthew Wright (our rostered kicker) was on 3 teams last year.

Ryan Fitzgerald Factoids:

• #2 Ranked Kicker on the Beast
• Was perfect in 2024, including a long of 59 yards
• Was 19/21 in 2023
• Hasn't missed an XP in over two years

Seems like we may have ourselves a new kicker:

[NAS]

Yes I am really hoping he is our future kicker

[TD alt]

Finally, a John Kasay replacement.

[Gapanthersfan]

Please let him keep #88 just so Greg can dish a little more shade next game of ours he does. 

JK Greg, I still love ya. 

[Aussie Tank]

It would be nice to attempt shots from 50 plus

He’s not eddy piniero so I’m assuming he’ll be an upgrade 

[App Panther]

Sorta feels like our Butker do over moment.

TBH, Pinero is a good comp, FWIW.

Honestly don’t think Eddie could hit a 59 yarder if his life depended on it.

[Mistuh Jones]

Fitzgerald is solid but he is no Butker 

[Jay Roosevelt]

I really thought he'd be one of three kickers drafted. I had him ranked as my #2 kicker so getting him as a UDFA is great value.

Well he was 11 for 14 from 50+ in his career.

How about 55+. Eddy had a limit at about 53 yards. I remember that Bears game where we trotted him out for a 60 yarder and even Eddy knew there was no chance.
