Jets Sign UFL 'Thiccer Kicker' For Training Camp Competition

Much of the focus on the New York Jets' tumult last season centered around their offense and their coaching staff. A seemingly dysfunctional environment from the start reared an ugly head as the team sunk to a 5-12 record. 

From the coaching staff, the team fired head coach Robert Saleh just a few games into the season after a 2-3 start. Offensively, a washed up version of Aaron Rodgers could not shoulder enough of a load to get them out of their hole. 

But amid all the controversy and distractions that stole the headlines the Jets also had one of the worst field goal units in the league. New York finished third from last in field goal percentage, going 20 of 28 for 71.4%, using five different kickers in the process. 

Like the other areas of the staff and the roster they have taken action to remedy this issue. The Jets took one more step Tuesday, signing UFL kicker Harrison Mevis.
