The New York Jets have signed veteran kicker Younghoe Koo, according to a report from @AdamSchefter of ESPN. The move brings the former Atlanta Falcons and New York Giants specialist to New York as the team continues to shape its roster for the upcoming season.
Koo is most recently known for his highly successful tenure with the Falcons, where he established himself as one of the most accurate kickers in NFL history. During his time in Atlanta, Koo earned Pro Bowl honors in 2020 and became a fan favorite for his proficiency in high-pressure situations and his unique ability to execute onside kicks. Prior to his breakout with the Falcons, Koo spent time with the Los Angeles Chargers and was a member of the Giants practice squad.
The New York Jets have not yet officially confirmed a corresponding roster move to make room for the addition. Koo joins the specialist room with a proven track record of consistency, having converted over 90% of his field goal attempts during his peak seasons in the league. This signing marks a significant veteran addition to the Jets special teams unit as they look to improve their scoring reliability.
