Eh, no. Like it's already been stated he's accurate for a college FG kicker but not accurate enough to be a long-term NFL kicker. His career percentage is 75% which is a bit low as far as NFL teams are concerned for long-term kickers. That percentage would be lower in the NFL considering teams would lean on him to kick from longer distances than he was NOT trusted to in college. So really he'd probably be about a 70% kicker in the NFL which just isn't what teams look for from their FG kickers.
There's only 2 FG kickers in the NFL currently kicking below 75%...and the season still isn't over yet and both are pretty close to being 75% or better (one just has only taken 10 attempts). NFL teams want to see that percentage AT LEAST at the 80% mark and ideally around 85-90%. You have to be nearly automatic in the NFL to make it long-term with a team.

He has to work on kicking from the right hash mark, he either pulls the ball badly left or keeps it right everytime. He has probably missed more than he has made from the right. Has anyone else notice this?
