Former Florida kicker Evan McPherson is having a big preseason for the Cincinnati Bengals. And it got even bigger on Sunday.
In the preseason opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, McPherson had 2 field-goal opportunities, one from 40 yards and one from 31 yards. Then against Washington, he hit a 37-yarder and a 50-yarder that would have been good from even more, the Cincy Jungle reported.
But on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, McPherson nailed a 57-yarder that had room to spare.
McPherson’s fifth-round pick is looking like a smart move for the Bengals as the final cuts of the preseason approach on Tuesday.
McPherson has seemingly won the kicking job over Austin Seibert, especially with the latter missing a few kicks in practice recently, Bengals Wire reported.
