Austin Seibert has taken unconventional practice methods to a new level by targeting a pine tree near his home in Illinois for field-goal attempts. This family-driven training paid off as he seamlessly transitioned to the NFL, scoring all points in his debut with the Washington Commanders and earning NFC special teams player of the week honors.

Seibert’s impressive 100% success rate in his first match highlighted his readiness despite being the fifth kicker for the team in a short span. With the Commanders facing Cincinnati next, the pressure remains high as he aims to maintain his performance.
