Anders Carlson 

Player Bio
Carlson joined the Tigers in 2017 but redshirted that season as his brother, Daniel, finished his All-American career as the SEC's all-time leading scorer before heading to the NFL. Anders did a solid job taking over his sibling’s duties in 2018 (15-25-60%; two-of-nine from 50-plus yards, long 53 FGs; 44-44 XPs) and in 2019 (18-25-72%, long 52 FGs; 48-49-98% XPs). He had his best year in 2020, receiving second-team All-SEC honors after tying for second nationally with 20 field goals made and tying for ninth-best in the FBS with a 90.9 percent field-goal make rate (24-25-96% XPs). His 2021 season was not as productive (14-21-66.7%, two blocked FGs, long 49; 35-36-97.2% XPs) and ended when Carlson tore the ACL in his left knee (non-kicking leg) trying to recover an onside kick against Mississippi State. He made 12 of 17 field-goal attempts (70.6%) and all 22 extra-point tries in 2022. Carlson was the team's kickoff specialist most of his career, kicking 183 touchbacks on 314 attempts (58.3%). He was also a three-time Academic All-American and selected to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team. -- by Chad Reuter

Overview
Carlson has made kicks in big moments and appeared to be tracking in a good direction back in 2020. However, he has struggled to establish consistency on mid-range kicks and has been poor on kicks from 50 yards and beyond. He’s had too many kicks blocked during his career and doesn’t sport a booming leg on kickoffs.

Strengths
Brother is an NFL kicker.
Possesses good size and has made kicks in high-pressure situations.
Was 4 of 4 from 40-plus yards in dramatic 2019 Iron Bowl win over Alabama.

Weaknesses
Career make rate of just 71.8 percent.
Struggled to find consistent kickoff depth in 2022.
Made just 5 of 17 field goals from 50-plus yards, going 0 for 4 since 2021.
Highly inconsistent on mid-range kicks.
Slow operation time leads to blocked kicks.

He's got defects, but they regard them as coach able, correctible.

I'm also struggling to understand why they would take a kicker who struggles to get it into the end zone on kickoffs.

Just listened to his interview  
acl was on his plant leg .
Wore a brace all last year 
Took it off in December.
Did kick a 62yd fg against Alabama.
Broke his shoulder last year missed 6 weeks  
Only 17 made FG's in 2022.

Biascia must see something  
I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Let’s see… Has trouble getting the ball to the end zone, misses kicks (other than the iron bowl), and is slow to kick the ball…

Plus, he kicks in the south, or he should get more distance

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how do you like the pic?
Go Packers!!!!

I'm confused... I read he was a kick off specialist... maybe he was asked to kick it high to force the team to return it ... also isn't NFL kick offs 5 yards closer? 

Maybe he had horrible.holders...

The best trait seems to be that he's 6'5"...

All reports on him are horrible... Packers must know something these guys don't, or at least think they do.

I doubt he makes the roster. Don’t we still have Crosby?

Problems might have been with injuries.
