I hope he nails game winners against the Rams.
Was just thinking that…
I am sad
Good for him though. We blew it not practice squading Blankenship last year.
They gotta have an ace up their sleeve.
He could end up being a big loss, but I understand he had a few misses last year. Just seems finding a good field goal kicker can be difficult.
I bet Legatron can kick too. All purpose specialist, and it saves us a roster spot.
Bummer. Going to be missed.
Prater cancels out the Jamaal Williams signing for purposes of the comp pick formula.
I Predicted the Lions would draft the Lou Groza Award winner this year in the 4th or 5th Round in another thread…Later, I saw the Lions already have someone in mind (K Wright - Futures Contract Signee in Jan), that they feel very confident in… - GOALPOST
Murray to Hanson to Prater to the NEXT GREAT Lions Kicking Specialist…The Tradition continues !!..
#BringBackHansen
Best of luck to Prater. The Cards have went all in.
So weird that we’ve had a good one my entire life. Truly, watching other teams kickers suck has been funny to me. Hope we can get a good one. I liked the idea of having Moonshot/Legatron & Deep Ball. Kicking Avengers.
I say let Fox kick field goals! He’s a punting machine and was clearly the Lions MVP in 2020, why pay 2 guys when you can pay 1. I’m mostly kidding, but I’m surprised more teams don’t do that.

^^^Can’t read this mess…here’s the link
Based on the picture, he may not have hit puberty yet, so we could have a really good one. 4/4 from 40-49 yard range.
Hey, I know a guy…
You have a need? OSU probably has a player that can fill it. You need research on said player? Allow me to introduce myself.
Haha good find Natty! Hope his transition through puberty goes well.
Don’t know what the deal was with Prater last season, his production kinda went downhill and he wasn’t as dependable as he used to be. Lions fans are kinda spoiled when it comes to FG kickers, with Murray, the Hanson, and then Prater. The next guy will have some awesome shoes to fill.
Me, I don’t care that much if the guy isn’t good from beyond 50, but he better be solid from 50 yards in.
Damnit. I’m happy for Prater, but I hate to see him leave.
LOL. He will improve his leg power by at least 40%.
Plus…get those funny public hairs - oh - that was just drive-through guy…those aren’t supposed to be public!
