Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Roberto Aguayo knows that he’s in the hot seat right now and that if he wants to keep his job this season, then he’ll have do all he can and put up a fight to keep it. So, the young kicker has embraced the competition for Tampa Bay’s placekicking job with open arms and is doing everything in his power to win the heated battle. Aguayo took the necessary steps to ensure he does just that on Wednesday morning, nailing a 55-yard field goal at training camp. Something he struggled with immensely throughout his rookie campaign.

There have been a lot of questions surrounding Aguayo’s future with the Buccaneers after a less than ideal rookie season where he finished last in the NFL in field goals, connecting on just 71 percent. As a result, the Bucs brought Nick Folk in to provide some competition for him and both kickers and are competing to earn the Bucs’ placekicking job. Although the Bucs moved up in the second round of last year’s draft to land Aguayo, general manager Jason Licht and company have made it clear that they have no problems parting ways with Aguayo if he doesn’t earn the job this offseason. This means the competition is only going to continue heating up and getting more and more intense as we get deep into training camp and both kickers fight for a position on the team’s roster.
