Richard Hightower discusses Cairo Santos' performance for the Bears

Chicago Bears special teams coordinator Richard Hightower expressed confidence in kicker Cairo Santos despite a recent missed 53-yard field goal in a preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Santos holds the record for the most accurate kicker in Bears history, although his attempts are fewer than previous record holders. Hightower emphasized Santos' consistency and leadership qualities, critical for the special teams unit. The Bears may need to explore more powerful kickers if Santos struggles with long kicks during the regular season.
