He wasn’t even sure he was getting drafted
The last time I saw Jake Moody, he was wearing an Edmund Fitzgerald hat and told me he wasn't sure he'd get drafted.

He just went 99th overall: First kicker off the board, second top-100 kicker in 17 years.
Don’t forget, the man can also lay the wood on Special Teams
Have heard a lot of scribes and pundits break down the Jake Moody pick, but not one of them mentioned his versatility. Dude can hit. If kicking doesn’t work out, maybe safety? pic.twitter.com/PKDW3g0m9r

Hey, remember that time Mel Tucker tried to ice Moody three times on the road, and he still made every kick?
Mel Tucker trying like hell to ice Jake Moody by using three timeouts, only for Moody to hit every single kick on the road in a top 10 matchup between undefeated rivals https://t.co/tkSow5TAp0 pic.twitter.com/fCWstUPUqH
