Matt LaFleur feels great about rookie kicker Trey Smack
The Packers drafted kicker Trey Smack in the sixth round this year, then cut veterans Brandon McManus and Lucas Havrisik to leave Smack as the only kicker on the roster.
Matt LaFleur, head coach of the Green Bay Packers, expressed great satisfaction with rookie kicker Trey Smack's recent performance. Smack was drafted in the sixth round and has already made an impact, going 4-for-4 on field goals in Friday night's game, including a 59-yarder. LaFleur stated, "I feel great," but emphasized that consistency is key, as he needs Smack to deliver similar performances in future games.
He highlighted that LaFleur is confident in the Packers' decision to draft Smack, despite the inherent risk in selecting a kicker, given the tendency for many college kickers to underperform in the NFL. LaFleur noted that Smack has put in two strong performances back-to-back, indicating his potential to become a valuable asset to the team.
