The seventh-round rookie Nate Freese is in a battle with Giorgio Tavecchio to be the Detroit K. While the Lions spent a draft pick on Nate, that doesn’t necessarily mean the job will be his. He was a perfect 20-20 on FG attempts during his senior season at Boston College, but has struggled a bit early on in camp, while Giorgio has been solid. While Tavecchio was with the 49ers and Packers training camps the last two seasons, he hasn’t ever kicked in a regular season contest. The Lions kicker from '13, David Akers, totaled 100 points and whoever wins the job in the preseason will have the opportunity to score a lot of points with a potent offense.
