Saints prepare for kicker competition between Smyth and Brown

The New Orleans Saints are entering training camp with a kicker competition featuring second-year kicker Charlie Smyth and UFL standout Tanner Brown. Smyth finished his rookie season making 12 of 16 field goal attempts, while Brown was highly successful in the UFL, converting 25 of 28 attempts and impressively hitting two 60+ yarders in the playoffs. The Saints have struggled with field goal efficiency in recent years, finishing in the bottom 10 for three of the last four seasons. With high expectations for the upcoming NFL season, New Orleans aims to solidify its special teams unit.
