Anders Carlson is Perfect on Kicks

Talking about rides, it’s been a roller coaster for Anders Carlson throughout training camp and preseason. He’s been all over the place, shanking basic kicks on one rep and bombing 55-yarders through the uprights on the next.

He finished the preseason on a high, and I predict he’ll carry that into Soldiers Field on Sunday. Carlson has shown up in big moments so far, and this could be the start of something special. Patience is a virtue, but Carlson will provide Green Bay with immediate results in Week 1.
