Question: Camden Lewis and Henry Kattleman both get chances to kick; which one looks better?

Neel: You know what? I’m going to say it… I think Camden Lewis has the better day. Yes, the fan base is in love with Henry Kattleman after his perfect 4-for-4 season in 2020, and there is a good chance that Lewis hears some boo’s when taking the field on Saturday, but there has to be a reason he’s stuck around this whole time instead of transferring. All reports out of camp are that this kicking competition is extremely close. If we trust the coaching staff when it comes to picking Anthony Brown, then we might need to trust them when it comes to Camden as well. Just like a divorced guy getting back into the dating scene, I am ready to be hurt once again.

Smalley: If Lewis finds his accuracy, the job will be his. He’s always had a strong enough leg. According to reports out of camp, he’s been doing well. One of the main storylines coming out of this opener is going to be the return of Camden Lewis.

Patton: This job is Camden Lewis’ to lose, so long as he doesn’t miss some gimme kicks I think he will be the guy this season – and I expect him to grab hold of the job in Week 1.
