Will Jamie Gillan get a chance kicking field goals?
It’s no surprise that all eyes are on the Browns finding a reliable kicker for the season. Mostly known for his strong leg, “The Scottish Hammer” was practicing field goals earlier this week at practice after the poor showing from Greg Joseph and Austin Seibert last game against the Colts.

Despite being in the mix for the starting punter spot, there should be no harm in plugging in the rookie to try a field goal in the game against Tampa Bay. Earlier in the week, head coach Freddie Kitchens had this to say to local reporters when Gillan was spotted drilling field goals.
“I did not even know he can kick field goals,” he stated. “If he is out there kicking 60 yarders, hell, he may get a chance.”
