Roberto Aguayo Posts a Perfect Debut

My crystal ball is not telling me how many kicks he will make, but he will make them all.

Now that is bold, isn’t it?  It’s the guy’s first time under the bright lights of an NFL season.  Being a second round draft pick, there are all kinds of expectations.  Aguayo is expected to right the wrongs of the kicking game from 2015.  There is a lot riding on this young man from Florida State, isn’t there?  Surely there will be jitters, right?

Yes, but he got over the first hump in the preseason.  He had the struggles, missing kicks in the first two games, but went perfect the rest of the way.  Whatever was going on either mechanically or in his head, he was able to fix.  Granted, he didn’t kick well on the road, but those games were outside.  In Tampa Bay he was perfect, and he starts his career in a dome.

He will be just fine.
