"I got my first tryout of the 2016 season recently when the Giants brought me in. I was kicking against a couple of other guys, like I’d done before. And I hit 7 of 8 kicks, like I’d done before.
This time it wasn’t enough to land the job.
But that’s also a part of life as a free agent kicker. Just because you get a call and you have a good tryout doesn’t mean you’ll get the job. But you can’t let it get you down. You have to go back to Rule 1 of free agency and stay ready to capitalize on your next opportunity.
There are only 32 job openings in the world for what I do. That’s a tough market. But I know I still belong. Now I’m just waiting for my next chance to prove it to an NFL team. And when that team calls, wherever I am, I’ll have my shoes with me, and I know I’ll be ready."
