Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers could have a chance to accomplish an NFL – and Super Bowl – first. The talented kicker has been making waves in the league with his impressive performances, and now, he has the opportunity to make history.
Myers, who joined the Seahawks in 2018, has been a key player for the team, helping them secure important wins with his accurate kicks. But what sets him apart from other kickers in the league is his ability to make long-distance field goals with ease. In fact, he has already made a name for himself as one of the best long-distance kickers in the NFL.
But Myers’ journey to the NFL was not an easy one. He started his career as an undrafted free agent with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2015. Despite his impressive performances in college, he was overlooked by many teams. However, he didn’t let this discourage him and continued to work hard to prove his worth.
After being released by the Jaguars, Myers joined the Seattle Seahawks in 2018 and immediately made an impact. He finished the season with a career-high 91.7% field goal percentage, making 33 out of 36 attempts. His impressive performance earned him a Pro Bowl selection and a four-year contract extension with the Seahawks.
Since then, Myers has continued to excel, and this season, he has the chance to achieve something that no other kicker has done before – make a 60-yard field goal in the Super Bowl. While many kickers have attempted and failed to make such a long-distance kick in the biggest game of the year, Myers has the skills and confidence to make it happen.
In fact, Myers has already made a 61-yard field goal in a regular-season game against the Los Angeles Rams in 2019. This not only tied the franchise record for the longest field goal but also proved that he has what it takes to make a 60-yard kick in high-pressure situations.
But Myers’ potential to make history doesn’t stop there. He also has the chance to become the first kicker to make a game-winning field goal in the Super Bowl. With the Seahawks currently sitting at the top of the NFC West, they have a good chance of making it to the Super Bowl, and if they do, Myers will be ready to make his mark.
His teammates and coaches have nothing but praise for him, with Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll calling him a “great weapon” for the team. Myers’ consistency and accuracy have been crucial for the Seahawks’ success this season, and they will continue to rely on him as they make their playoff push.
Myers’ journey to the NFL and his impressive performances have not only made him a fan favorite but also a role model for young kickers. He has shown that hard work and determination can lead to success, even when the odds are stacked against you.
As the Seahawks continue their journey towards the Super Bowl, all eyes will be on Jason Myers. He has the opportunity to make history and cement his name in the NFL record books. And with his talent and determination, there’s no doubt that he will rise to the occasion and accomplish what no other kicker has done before.
So let’s all root for Jason Myers and the Seattle Seahawks as they chase their Super Bowl dreams. Who knows, we might witness a historic moment that will be talked about for years to come. Go Hawks!
