While there is plenty to be disappointed about when it comes to how Kwesi Adofo-Mensah handled draft picks, few outcomes are better than using a sixth round pick on Will Reichard.
Ted Schwerzler examines whether Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard has ended the franchise's historical kicking struggles. Drafted in the sixth round out of Alabama by general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, Reichard has emerged as one of the NFL's premier kickers. Through his first 35 professional games, Reichard has converted 90 percent of his field goal attempts and has never missed an extra point.
Schwerzler notes that Reichard remains perfect this season across multiple distances, including going 5-for-5 on kicks from 50 to 59 yards. His accolades include earning NFC Special Teams Player of the Week in Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins and being named a First-Team All-Pro in 2025.
