Andre Szmyt News: Wins kicker competition

Szmyt is positioned as the Browns' starting placekicker after the team waived Dustin Hopkins on Tuesday, per Kelsey Russo of the team's official site.

Hopkins converted just 67 percent of his field-goal attempts across 16 regular-season appearances last season, prompting Cleveland to move on. Szmyt impressed for the St. Louis Battlehawks in the UFL this spring, converting 19 of 21 field-goal attempts (90.5 percent), and he'll now get an opportunity to prove he can maintain similar accuracy in the NFL.
