Andre Szmyt News: Boots game-winning kick

Szmyt converted his lone field-goal attempt from 37 yards in Saturday's 19-17 preseason win over the Rams.

Szmyt calmly drilled his kick through the middle of the goal posts with no time left on the clock. It finished a perfect preseason for Szmyt, who was successful on all three FGA and one XPA. Meanwhile, Dustin Hopkins converted from 28 yards out and was wide left on his lone extra-point try, his second missed XPA in preseason work. A 53-man roster projection from Zac Jackson of The Athletic pegs Szmyt over Hopkins for the placekicking job, but that comes with the caveat that Szmyt has never kicked in a regular-season NFL game. However, he did post an impressive 90.5 percent success rate (19-for-21) on field goals for the UFL's St. Louis Battlehawks this past spring, a sample that included a 4-for-5 tally on attempts from 50+ yards.
