The New Orleans Saints have seen a rotating door of kickers in recent seasons, with names like Blake Grupe, Wil Lutz, and Brett Maher taking center stage. Despite these changes, Grupe has managed to secure the position for two consecutive years, showcasing a solid field goal success rate of 83.8% and an impressive extra point success rate of 97.3%. The Saints are now introducing Charlie Smyth, who has made headlines by outkicking several professionals at the Kohl's Kicking Camp, adding to the competition in the kicking game.

Smyth’s performance at the camp has generated excitement among Saints fans, as he aims to challenge Grupe's position. The team's emphasis on consistent special teams play could hinge on how well Smyth adapts to the NFL's intensity. With a recent history of injuries and inconsistent performances from previous kickers, the outcome of this competition could significantly impact the Saints' scoring capabilities in upcoming games.
