Jaguars counting on Arkansas' Cam Little to tee up new era following four-year kicking carousel

Arkansas place kicker Cam Little celebrates his field goal in the second half of an NCAA college football game against Texas A&M in Arlington, Texas, Saturday, Sept. 25, 2021. – Jacksonville’s recent kicking situation can be summed up like this: two Wrights and more than a dozen wrongs.

Lutz's about-face prompted general manager Trent Baalke and coach Doug Pederson to draft the franchise's first kicker since Josh Scobee in 2004. Lambo, the NFL’s most accurate kicker between 2017 and 2020, reclaimed the job in 2021 under new coach Urban Meyer. But Lambo missed five kicks in Jacksonville’s first three games and suddenly had confidence issues.

Baalke and Pederson dumped Wright in 2022 and opened camp with rookie Andrew Mevis competing with Ryan Santoso for the job. Neither panned out. Patterson lasted less than a year. The team wanted a stronger leg and scooped up veteran Brandon McManus when Denver dumped him last spring. McManus' arrival seemed as if he would end the team's kicking carousel.
