Younghoe Koo – Kicker

Yes, the kicker of the Atlanta Falcons is someone that we should all be thankful for because, after all, kickers are people too.

You cannot say enough about Younghoe Koo, there isn’t a more likable player or kicker around the league than him. He took the untraditional route to the NFL, had his struggles, kept fighting, and has become one of the best kickers in the world.

The number of games he has won for the team since he arrived is remarkable. He is as clutch as they come and there is no one else we would rather have with the game on the line.

There is a reason that he is a fan favorite. He isn’t your traditional kicker who just messes around during practice, no, he trains and works out like he is J.J. Watt. Younghoe Koo deserves more recognition around the league.
