He finished his collegiate career as the NCAA record holder for most career games with two or more field goals made (31) and tied for the record of most career games of at least three field goals made (13).

Stugein Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Yay! I'm glad we're keeping Kai. He's been pretty consistent, and clutch in spots. And I like no longer feeling nervous during point-afters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbunny Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Good thing he's finally officially back. Not like there was someone up for his RFA status, still good to have him signed. Wish to know for how long is he signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Excellent! For once, I actually feel good about our kickers. Pick up a 1st rate gunner or 2, and our STs nightmare may finally be over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILikeBilly Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Yay! I'm glad we're keeping Kai. He's been pretty consistent, and clutch in spots. And I like no longer feeling nervous during point-afters. I still get nervous, but I am nervous whether the line can actually keep the kick from being blocked.
