Survivor I - Neil Rackers Commentary

NOTE: this draft was completed on 7/24

Positives - Comments from FBG.com: Rackers was known for his length strength coming out of college, and finally made full use of it last year. His 23 touchbacks on kickoffs led the NFL, and he connected on five field goals of 50+ yards. Three of those were in one game, and his shoes from that day now reside in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton. Neil spent the 2004 off-season in Arizona, working out with team mates, focused on being a team player. It appears to have paid off.

Negatives - Comments from FBG.com: Rackers’ field goal percentages his first two years with Cincinnati were 57.1% and 60.7%. Both ranked dead last in the NFL. He’s fortunate, because not many teams would give a kicker a third chance after those results. Since then he’s climbed to the middle of the pack with 83.3%, 75.0%, and 75.9% averages. He missed three extra points while with the Bengals, but none since joining the Cardinals. Overall, his accuracy has improved from horrible to acceptable.
