## Resource

Green Bay’s kicking future hinges on rookie Trey Smack, who’s struggling in practice—missing four of nine kicks in windy conditions, raising alarms for a team that invested two draft picks in him. Meanwhile, Detroit’s Jake Bates needs to rebound from a disappointing sophomore season, where his 79% FG rate and a blocked game-winner left fans anxious. Chicago’s Cairo Santos proves clutch under pressure, delivering in key moments like a 51-yarder in the playoffs, while Minnesota’s Will Reichard dominates with a 94% FG rate and a franchise-record 62-yarder—earning him All-Pro honors and divisional top-kicker status. As the season looms, Packers and Lions remain in search of stability, while Vikings and Bears have clear, reliable answers at kicker.
