Chargers kickers Michael Badgley and Tristan Vizcaino’s performances were showered in boos by over 30,000 people that were in attendance for practice at SoFi Stadium this past Sunday.
At practice Wednesday, it was Vizcaino who had a bounce-back outing, finishing with a perfect 5-for-5 on field goals. Badgley, on the other hand, went 3 of 5, with his longest being from 46 yards.
Undrafted free agent Alex Kessman has been overshadowed by the two because he hasn’t rotated in with the first team all that often and he finished 2 of 6 this past weekend.
Practices have been a gauge as to who has the early leg up (no pun intended), but the preseason games will tell all. Not only will there be field goals and extra points to be made, kickoffs will also be a determining factor.
In my latest 53-man roster, I have Vizcaino winning the starting job but only will time tell.
