Commanders hope Drew Stevens ends long search for a kicker
How many of these Washington kickers do you remember?
The Washington Commanders have named rookie Drew Stevens as their new kicker, following the release of Jake Moody. Stevens emerged victorious in the team's kicking competition, successfully replacing Moody who had previously been signed off the Bears' practice squad. Before playing for the Commanders, Stevens played for the 49ers and the Michigan Wolverines.
Commanders General Manager Adam Peters has faced challenges in finding a dependable kicker over his three seasons. Previous attempts to sign a new kicker have been met with mixed results, from failed attempts to defend the decision to sign former Washington kicker Chris Blewitt, to the release of several kickers due to injury or lack of success. The Commanders hope that Drew Stevens will end the team's long-standing search for a reliable kicker.
