Saints K Charlie Smyth aims for 85-90% accuracy after 2025 rookie season

Saints kicker Charlie Smyth, who became an NFL starter in 2025, made 12 of 16 field goals (75%) and all 13 extra points in his final six games. Despite kicking a game-winner and tying a franchise record with five FGs, Smyth stated his 12/16 performance 'is not going to cut it long term,' aiming for 85-90% accuracy. He signed a new three-year deal after being elevated from the practice squad and plans to refine his technique, especially on left-hash kicks, to improve consistency.
