Drew Stevens named starting kicker for Commanders after competition win

The Washington Commanders have announced that Drew Stevens will be their starting kicker. Stevens, an undrafted rookie from Iowa, was named the starter before a Tuesday training camp practice, surprising him with the timing of the decision. Head coach Dan Quinn stated that Stevens established himself through consistent performance, kicking 43-of-48 in camp and hitting 6-for-6 in practice that day. Stevens emphasized the importance of mental conviction in kicking, crediting the support he received from fellow kicker Jake Moody during the competition. With future preseason games ahead, Stevens aims to build on his momentum.
