2013 56-yarder to retake the lead vs. Kansas was his third from 55 yards or longer... Has at least one FG from 50 yards or more in each season..

2012 Tied the NCAA record vs. SMU becoming the sixth kicker in history to hit three field goals of 50 yards or longer in a game..

The #AzCardinals worked out K Chris Boswell (Rice). Boswell was a Senior Bowl and #NFL Combine invitee.​

Wonder what his kickoffs look like

This past season Boswell produced 54 touchbacks in 70 kickoffs.

2013 FGs:

6/9 40-49 yards

2/6 50-60 yards

I think we have our sixth round pick

 

[juza76]

in college the ball is kicked from your own 35 yard like in the nfl??

 

[Fitz Rulz]

I thinka big portion of the season-ending loss to the Niners can be blamed on the kicking game.

The Niners ended up winning the game on a last-second field goal by Phil Dawson.

Meanwhile Jay Feely was only 2 of 4 for the Cardinals and missed attempts of 37 and 43 yards. Also, the Cardinals went for and failed on a 4th down at the Niner 36. That would have been a 53 yard attempt that was out of Feely's range.

You can make a strong case that the Cardinals are a distant fourth in the NFC West in place-kicking IMO. An upgrade would be welcome.

Time is right for Cardinals to draft a K in the first 4 rounds.
