Washington Commanders' Kicker Battle: Stevens vs. Moody

0:00On April 27th, Washington Commanders General Manager Adam Peters is turning up the heat on the roster of this offseason. After a rough season, he's pushing competition everywhere, starting with the kicker spot. They've invited former Iowa stand-out Drew Stevens to rookie minicamp, putting him in direct competition with veteran Jake Moody. Moody joined late last year from the Chicago Bears practice squad when Peters ditched the Pricy-Mat Gay experiment. He did solid work and earned a one-year deal, but the team skipped drafting a kicker with their six picks. Now, they're giving Stevens a shot to earn a contract. Fans are buzzing about this move, as it shakes up what was looking like, Moody's clear path to the job. Stevens brings a strong resume from college. All Big Ten honors four years straight and an 80% field goal rate overall. Plus, he's nailed eight kicks over 50 yards in his last two seasons. If Stevens impresses at minicamp, expect a real battle in training camp. Peters is known for being ruthless, so Moody's spot isn't safe, no matter his accuracy.

1:03The commanders haven't had a reliable long-range kicker in ages, and this could change that. Keep an eye on how this plays out. Stevens has to shine first, but if he does, it'll be one of the hottest position fights come summer.
