When requested about Butker in his Wednesday press convention, head coach Andy Reid pointed to a different sport for his present evaluation of his kicker.
“Like all golfer — you guys have all golfed — typically you’re hitting it good and different instances you’re off, however you’re employed via it and you retain swinging, man, and he’ll try this,” Reid mentioned of Butker. “He’s a gifted child, mentally robust.
“I’m probably not frightened about him.”
By means of 5 video games, Butker is 10-of-13 on area targets and 11-of-13 on additional factors. His missed FGs have come from 40, 56, and 58 yards.
