Rams’ Tanner Brown hadn’t missed a kick inside 50 yards all camp before Saturday

Rookie kicker Tanner Brown got his first taste of NFL football on Saturday night when he made his preseason debut with the Rams, but it didn’t go exactly as planned. While he made both of his extra point attempts and a 39-yard field goal, he missed a 46-yard try badly to the left.

It was his first NFL field goal attempt so we have to cut him some slack, especially after hearing what special teams coordinator Chase Blackburn said about the Rams’ kicker. On Monday, Blackburn told reporters that Brown’s 46-yarder was his first miss from inside 50 yards all training camp.

Brown was deadly accurate in college, making 22 of his 23 field goal attempts for Oklahoma State in 2022. He was a semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award, which is given to the best kicker in the country, showing just how impressive he was last year.

Brown has a few more weeks until the start of the regular season, so there’s time for him to fine-tune things.
