Cade York grabbed a win in week 1 for the Cleveland Browns when he sent a 58-yard field goal through the uprights in his first NFL game. That was the high point of his rookie season that saw some ups and a lot of downs. The Athletic has named York to their All-Rookie team despite his struggles.
York made it over Cameron Dicker, who was quite impressive with the Los Angeles Chargers but played in just 11 games.
As a rookie, York only made 75% of his field goal attempts which was near the bottom of the league. He was good at extra points, missing just two all season at 35-of-37.
To succeed as a kicker and last in Cleveland, York is going to have to become a more accurate kicker. He has shown the big leg that had teams interested in drafting him, but he just has to put it all together.
Making 24 field goals as a rookie is not shabby but York has plenty of opportunity to up the number. York's career will be tied to that fourth-round draft pick that was spent on him, so the Browns need him to take a step forward next year.
