placekickers
Three-point score specialists
Placekickers are football players who specialize in kicking the ball from a fixed position on the ground, typically for field goals and extra points.
Unlike punters, who drop and kick the ball in motion, placekickers rely on a holder or tee to position the ball before the kick.
The team's placekickers competed for the starting position during training camp.
