3.08 Minnesota Fighting Saints - PK Chris Blewitt

Blewitt, signed as an undrafted free agent by the Chicago Bears as part of their ongoing search for a reliable placekicker, will compete against recent trade acquisition Eddy Pineiro for the Bears’ placekicking job.  The Fighting Saints set almost all their picks on auto-draft, and this auto-pick, in particular, is a curveball for these reasons:

  • They already have two solid kickers (Harrison Butker and Ryan Succop)
  • Neither is off until Week 11 (meaning the Fighting Saints have plenty of time to sign another kicker as off the free agent pile if Butker or Succop were to get hurt), and
  • They could have taken RB Dexter Williams (Aaron Jones handcuff)
