Dallas Cowboys Undrafted Free Agency 2022: Who are these guys?
Jonathan Garibay, K, Texas Tech
When the Dallas Cowboys entered the draft, they had one kicker on the roster and it was obvious the position was open. Needing more consistency at the position was one of the biggest things fans wanted. Garibay is in a position to compete for stating kicker and perhaps now the favorite to win it.
Garibay has a huge leg, as evident from his 62 yard walk-off this past season. He plants his foot well with good twist in the hips. He made 15 of 16 attempts this season with 59 of 60 on extra points. He drives through the ball and has good mechanics all the way through.
Garibay only has one season of full-time kicking under his belt, so he might still be working out some technique. I like his lean to get torque and angle, but wonder if there might be a little over-torquing at times. One word would be raw.
