Grupe will be a good kicker. Most if not all rookies have bumps in the road. Hell Morten Anderson was a career sub 80% FG kicker. (79.7%) and (77.6% for his 13 years in NOLA)

11 of his 25 year he averaged 78% or below kicking.

Took him 2 full season to crack the 80% mark.

He turned out to be a pretty good kicker.

The key is to not have to rely on you kicker to win as many games for you.


ETA: fwiw Grupe finished this rookie season at 81.1% FG percentage. Not great but 80% is everyone's threshold for field goal kickers it seems from earlier in the year.
