No matter what you think about kickers, it's hard to argue with Jake Elliott's impact on the Eagles.
Eagles placekicker Jake Elliott has forced observers to take notice of his consistent play, spiking in the 2023 season when the eight-year pro was named second-team All-Pro.
The list has become an annual affair as the two reporters submit their top 25 lists simultaneously so each would be unaffected by the others. No. 1 on the list is awarded 25 points and so on down the list with No. 25 receiving one point. Despite investing what is considered a premium asset for a kicker, the Bengals failed to show patience with the then-rookie and stuck with veteran Randy Bullock, hoping to stash Elliott on the practice squad and revisit his potential later.
The 5-foot-9. 167-pound Elliott evidently had the ears opened to Peters, a franchise legend and potential future Hall of Famer, and 'kicked' off the incredible Eagles' run to a Super Bowl LII championship with a 61-yard game-winner against the New York Giants. The rebound in effectiveness coincides with Michael Clay’s arrival as special teams coordinator and the emergence of special teams assistant Tyler Brown as a sounding board. Brown’s father Randy is Justin Tucker’s long-time kicking coach with the Baltimore Ravens.
