Traits That Make a Kicker Prospect Great
There may be less traits needed to be a great kicker, but that doesn’t mean it’s an easy position to scout. Opportunities vary heavily depending on your school, and kickers who can comfortably hit from 60 yards might have never even attempted a 50 yarder in a game. Leg strength, accuracy, and mental game are among some of the most important factors when scouting kickers.
Some of the factors we consider when scouting are included below.
Kicking Strength
Any kicker that gets drafted will need to be able to hit from 55 yards with consistency. At the college level kicking strength is a bit of a luxury, but at the NFL level it becomes a necessity. Leg strength can also include the ability to get proper elevation on deep kicks.
Consistency
Consistent accuracy can be improved with reps, but if you don’t have it by the time you get to the NFL, you won’t last long. It can difficult to evaluate accuracy in college because field conditions can vary so heavily and the hashes are wider than in the NFL. But maintaining consistent mechanics and hitting a clean ball will help.
Mental Game
We’ve seen plenty of kickers get a case of the yips and randomly lose the ability to kick due to a weak mental game. You’ll also seem plenty of kickers consistently choke when it matters most. Showing the ability to consistently hit clutch kicks is becoming way more common in kicking scouting.
Kickoffs
Fans might be surprised that not every big-legged field goal kicker is an effective kickoff specialist. It’s a totally different skillset, but one you expect your place kicker to be able to handle. Controlling your bounces, getting elevation to force returns, or booming it out of the back of the end zone on command are all skills to have.
Overall Opinion of the 2025 Kicker Draft Class
NFL kickers are getting better and better, and college kickers are too (even though it might not seem like it). The make rate on 50+ yard kicks is at an all time high, and the transfer portal is really helping small school kickers get opportunities kicking in bigger opportunities. This class in particular doesn’t stand out too much in a positive or negative way, but there are a few kickers with a legitimate chance to get drafted and plenty of guys with big legs.
