Where is the evidence that he's got a big time leg?? I genuinely would love to see it. Seems like he's average on kickoffs and terrible from distance? But he makes up for it by shanking extra points?
I've also seen stuff on twitter about good kickers who were cut and then found success with later teams. Fine, but you'll never guess who else was cut.

He did make a 62 yard FG in college. Basically every scouting report I've read is he has a strong leg but isn't super accurate

Given his training camp, the fact that he's been clean on all his PAT's and FG's is a positive for sure. However he really hasn't had much to do (which is probably preferable early on to build his confidence) The 52 yarder in the Bears game was a good looking kick but otherwise just a 33 and 38 yarder in the previous two games in pressure free situations isn't telling us much. Long story short, off to a positive start but too early to really know anything.
