Cowboys Roster: The kicker did(n’t) do it in late 2022
Prior to the 2022 NFL Draft I begged and pleaded with the Cowboys to draft Cameron Dicker in the sixth round. The kicker/punter from the University of Texas was still on the board and I remain convinced he’s the second coming of Justin Tucker. Plus, he was the Longhorns’ punter, meaning he could free up a roster spot.
Instead, Dallas used their final pick of the draft on Devin Harper, a linebacker out of Oklahoma State. Who, you ask? Exactly.
Meanwhile, Dicker went undrafted, played one game for the Eagles before landing with the Los Angeles Chargers. He went 21-22 on field goals for the year and nailed all 24 off his extra points. On his 55 kickoffs, 46 of them went for touchbacks, that’s 83.6% if you were wondering.
Dallas went with Brett Maher instead in 2022. They were rewarded with 29-of-32 on field goals and 50-for-53 on extra points. On kickoffs, 78 of his 100 kicks went for touchbacks (78%).
