Latest Fantasy Rumors
Favorite to win kicking job
Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer relays that Fitzgerald enters OTAs as the favorite to win the Panthers' starting kicking job over Matthew Wright.
ANALYSIS
Fitzgerald didn't hear his name called during the 2025 NFL Draft, but he quickly caught on with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent in late April. He spent his entire five-year college career with Florida State, and over his last two seasons he converted all 72 of his extra-point attempts and went 32-for-34 on field-goal tries. Wright has the experience advantage, but a strong performance during OTAs could establish Fitzgerald as the Panthers' starting kicker heading into training camp.
