When the Bengals selected kicker Evan McPherson out of Florida in the fifth round, they got more than a replacement for Randy Bullock.
As a true freshman, McPherson connected on 89.5% of his field goals and was perfect on extra point attempts. He hit that same percentage the next year while only missing on one extra point attempt. And last year, he was perfect on extra points and completed 77.3% of his field goals, including four conversions from 50-plus yards with a long of 55. Meanwhile, 241 kickoffs of his kickoffs in his college career resulted in touchbacks.
