The first regular season field goal Jon Brown ever attempted was in an NFL game. Naturally, he drilled it.The Jaguars signed Brown as their fifth kicker through six weeks in the 2020 NFL season, and the converted soccer player made good on his first try Sunday, a 31-yard attempt. Brown, who later mi sed a32-yarder, began his college career as a Kentucky soccer player before doing kickoffs at Louisville."I wouldn'tchange a thing," ."I'm glad I didn't kick a field goal in college. It makes it that much sweeter."Here's what Jimmy Garoppolo T Shirts you need to know about the Jaguars' newest kicker.MORE: 1. Jon Brown was a good soccer playerBrown scored in three high school soccer seasons. That was enough to earn him a chance with the United States' U-17 national team, along with earning the soccer scholarship to the University of Kentucky. Brown still went by 'Jonathan' then.As a freshman for the Wildcats, Brown started four games and recorded two shots on goal. But it was after that first season that the Frank Gore Jersey high school wide receiver and kick returner decided he wanted to give football another try.2. He transferred to Louisville as a soccer player who'd never kickedBrown continued to play soccer once he'd transferred to Louisville. In his final collegiate soccer game, he a sisted on a goal for the Cardinals against CSU Bakersfield.After leaving the soccer team, Brown began working with Brett Baer on his kicking, . Baer had kicked briefly for the St. Louis Rams. When Baer saw Brown's first kick, he was amazed."I was like, 'Holy crap, man,'" . "He just crushed it. Just the most powerful kick that I've ever seen, the way the ball exploded off his foot."3. A college kickoff specialistA highlight tape Brown sent to the Louisville coaching staff before his junior season earned him a summer tryout. The Cardinals had a proven field-goal kicker named John Wallace, so Brown had to find work Dwight Clark T Shirts where he could get it on the kickoff team.As a junior, Brown kicked off seven times. Then he had one more kickoff as a senior before an oblique injury ended his season. His application for a medical redshirt was denied, ending Brown's college career after eight kickoffs and no field goal attempts.4. The Bengals gave Jon Brown his shotBrown kicked at Jerry Rice Hoodies Sweatshirts Louisville's Pro Day in 2016 and caught Cincinnati's attention. They invited him to rookie minicamp, and while he didn't make the roster in 2016 or 2017, he got to kick for the Bengals during the 2018 preseason. That included him .Randy Bullock maintained the job with Cincinnati in 2018, though. Brown got an offseason chance with the 49ers in 2019 but didn't make the team. The Jaguars signed Brown last December and then waived him in April before bringing him back onto the practice squad and activating him for Week 6.5. The answer to Deebo Samuel Hoodies Sweatshirts the Jaguars' kicking woes?Jacksonville had its long-term kicker, Josh Lambo, after the way he's kicked since 2017.Lambo, another converted soccer player, entered 2020 as the unquestioned starter. But a left hip injury to Lambo left Jacksonville scrambling for kickers.Before Brown, the Jags already played Lambo, Aldrick Rosas, Stephen Hauschka and Brandon Wright. Only after moving on from each of those four did the Jaguars bring in Brown. He could be discarded whenever Lambo returns from Injured Reserve. But Brown will now have at least one NFL field goal under his belt.
