Undrafted Free Agent Signing: Kicker Connor Barth

by Chris Thorman on Apr 29, 2008 3:08 PM CDT in 2008 Draft Comment 4 comments

UNC kicker Connor Barth is one of the many free agents that the Chiefs picked up after this past weekend's draft. Since the Chiefs' '07 5th round pick, UCLA kicker Justin Medlock, seemed to mentally tap out before the season began, I found this video of a "cerebral" Connor Barth quite interesting. This guy may end up kicking for the Chiefs next year. And unlike training camp last year, I'm sure Barth will have plenty of competition.

I have to say

Barth comes off as very confident in that video. I think we’d all agree that kicking is 90% mental.

I'm glad he's in our camp

I’m all for as much competition as possible at Kicker this year. Last year was a debacle.

This kid seems legit.

We need him to pan out

It would be fantastic for our rebuilding if we could find a young guy to fill the kicker position and not worry about it for years (like Colquitt, who will likely play his entire career as a Chief, and for a punter, that could be 15 years :) )
