I'm leaning towards bigger kickers that play in cold weather. Reading through the rankings, the top rated kickers are about 5'11" and play in warm climates.
So IMHO, a bigger kicker like Hauschka or SeaBass, is going to have more power. Plus if they play in colder climates, the air is denser, the ball is harder, and that's going to make for tough kicking.
Whereas a kicker like Blair Walsh played at Georgia, but Mason Crosby played at Colorado.
So who am i currently leaning towards? Pre Bowl Games (high pressure kicking), i like
Matt Gay, K, Utah
Height: 6-1. Weight: 220.
Projected Round (2019): 5-7.
12/22/18: Gay is 24-of-29 thus far in 2018 with a long of 55 yards.
8/30/18: Gay was very accurate for Utah in 2017, connecting on 88 percent of his field goals (30-of-34). He had a long field goal of 56 yards, which he made twice. Gay also had field goals of 53 and 50 yards. He missed twice in the 40-yard range.
