That’s not all. Every team but one in that span has found a kicker who could last at least 80 games — the equivalent of five full seasons. The 32nd team is the Redskins. More than two-thirds of NFL teams have asked a kicker to attempt at least 200 field goals since 1994. Shaun Suisham leads Washington with 101 tries.

This constant kicking churn isn’t as important as Washington’s revolving doors at quarterback or head coach. Still, it hints at the years of instability and change in Ashburn. Which is why the emergence of Dustin Hopkins in this latest rebuild seems like such a promising omen. For the first time in a generation, the Redskins seem to have found their franchise kicker.

(I know, I know. The parade starts at the corner of Pennsylvania and Third. Bring your kicking tees.)

Sure, Hopkins has been here just 21 games. That’s barely longer than Cary Blanchard or Billy Cundiff lasted, barely more games than Ola Kimrin or Jose Cortez logged in Washington.

But look at the numbers. Since his arrival early last season, Hopkins has made 90.9 percent of his field goals. That’s sixth in the NFL. He’s knocked touchbacks on 77 percent of his kickoffs this season. (That’s second in the NFL, although the new touchback rule has led some teams to change their strategy.) And he’s supplanted predecessor Kai Forbath as the most accurate kicker in franchise history.

That’s why GM Scot McCloughan has said — in all seriousness — that signing Hopkins was one of his best personnel moves in Washington. McCloughan’s arrival was supposed to inaugurate a new era of personnel excellence. I don’t think anyone imagined that would include discovering a kicker.

“Scot found him off the street,” marveled safety Will Blackmon, another one of McCloughan’s guys. “We got a steal.”

Hopkins already had a sparkling resume before he arrived in D.C. last September. He was a high school all-American, set NCAA records for scoring and field goals made at Florida State, and was a Bills sixth-round draft pick in 2013. But he missed his rookie season with a groin injury, and had to restart his career, training with soccer balls and deflated footballs during a lengthy rehab. He didn’t get a job in 2014, and was cut by the Saints last preseason after losing a competition with the since-released Zach Hocker, a 2014 Redskins draft pick. Less than two weeks later, Hopkins and Caleb Sturgis came to Redskins Park for a tryout.

“It’s funny; we weren’t necessarily looking to make a change at the kicker spot,” Gruden said this week. “[But] we saw this guy work out. We heard the explosion off his foot. … So we decided to take a chance.”

Hopkins was supposed to fly home that same day; he had dinner plans with his wife and some friends. The Redskins instead told him to wait in Director of Pro Personnel Alex Santos’s office. Hopkins sat there for hours, “twiddling my thumbs basically,” while the team sorted out its plans. Before he heard anything from the front office, his wife read on social media that the Redskins were signing him. “Hey do we need to pack our bags?” she texted.

Gruden soon explained why the team was making the change. Forbath had once seemed like Washington’s long-sought-after solution, making 87 percent of his field goals, many in clutch situations. But he had been erratic at kickoffs, with touchbacks on well below half of his attempts, a weakness that frustrated both fans and the coaching staff.

“It would be nice to kick the ball off through the end zone at a consistent rate,” Gruden said after making the change. “That’s really the main reason.”

AD

That’s paid off rather nicely. Hopkins has recorded touchbacks on 69 percent of his attempts with Washington, regularly sending footballs into the FedEx Field stands. And Gruden hasn’t been the only one struck by the noise when Hopkins makes contact. Long snapper Nick Sundberg even laid on the ground next to the tee during practice, so he could stare at the ball when Hopkins strikes it.

“It’s just different,” Sundberg said. “It’s such a violent movement. … He just crushes the ball when he hits it. I don’t know how else to put it. The ball molds around his foot so much. I think that’s what Jay’s talking about. When his foot makes contact, the whole ball folds around his foot before it takes off. It’s crazy-looking.”

AD

That’s why the team brought him here, although it turns out he’s been just as good at making kicks. Hopkins has converted 20 of his past 21 field-goal attempts, with the one miss a 56-yarder in the wind at Baltimore that Gruden said he probably shouldn’t have tried. From 50 yards or less, he’s made an eye-popping 97.4 percent of his kicks. That’s tops among active kickers, and the best mark in NFL history of anyone who’s tried at least 10 field goals, according to Pro Football Reference.

“The guy’s a machine,” said center Spencer Long. “I even told him that — ‘You’re a frickin’ machine.’ Just the same thing over and over: Boom, boom, boom.”

Some of these things are likely taken for granted in other cities, where kickers can get comfortable and register to vote and maybe even buy a house. (Don’t worry, Hopkins still rents.) Accuracy around the league is spiking, and you almost expect kickers to drill all their 50-yarders, like the one Hopkins made rather easily last week against the Eagles. (NFL kickers this season have made 53 percent of their attempts from 50 yards or longer.) We’ve thought before that the Redskins found their forever kicker: with Forbath, with Graham Gano, with Shaun Suisham.

So it’s okay to be cautious. Just remember: over the past 12 months, there’s been a new Metro GM, a new Wizards beat writer and more than one new Trump campaign manager. But there’s only been one Redskins kicker.
