The New Orleans Saints placed kicker Martin Gramatica in injured reserve, and re-signed sixth round draft pick Taylor Mehlhalff this week.
Melhaf, is from Aberdeen, SD. where he was both an all state kicker and an all conference quarterback. After leaving Central High School he attended Wisconsin University.
As a Badger he was a lifetime 50 for 75 kicking field goals and was fourth in the nation in touch back percentage. He's got a big leg.
He's got a big chest too. At the NFL combine he just missed 14 bench press reps- typical of tight ends, but not kickers.
Hopefully for Saints fans, he'll be able to handle pressure and produce consistent results for the rest of the season.
