PHILADELPHIA - Confidence is a big part of professional sports and doubt can creep into the minds of the most successful players.
Eagles rookie head coach Nick Sirianni joked that his kicker, Jake Elliott, was great at everything back in the spring, an absolute shark who excels in golf, basketball, and baseball. Even ping-pong. If you want to lose some money quickly put it down on the table and challenge Philadelphia s 26-year-old placekicker.
That s why it s almost inconceivable that the one thing Elliott chose as his actual profession gave him some problems last season.
The yips might be too strong of a descriptor for the Memphis product in 2020 but the big leg in the little body struggled with some of his shorter kicks.
