The 2024 sixth-round pick and first kicker selected in the 2024 NFL Draft is slated to be Minnesota’s starter this season, as he’s currently the lone kicker on the Vikings’ roster after releasing John Parker Romo in July.
Reichard was Alabama’s starter for five seasons, finishing his college career 84-of-100 on field goal attempts and 295 of 297 on point-after attempts.
