Former Georgia kicker Rodrigo Blankenship gets mic'd up

Former Georgia Bulldogs kicker Rodrigo Blankenship was mic'd up for a recent St.

Louis Battlehawks (United Football League) practice.Blankenship was hoping to get another NFL opportunity during the 2024 season, but that did not pan out.

His last NFL chance came ahead of the 2023 season when he missed out on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' starting kicker job.

Blankenship, who played at Georgia from 2016-2019, is a fan favorite almost wherever he goes.

Blankenship made 82.5% of his kicks during his college career and has made 83.9% of his career NFL field goal attempts.

Blankenship was undrafted in the 2020 NFL draft.

He signed with the Indianapolis Colts where he earned the starting role as a rookie.

However, Blankenship battled injuries and struggled at times from 2021-2022.

The Colts moved on from Blankenship in 2022 and he later landed with the Arizona Cardinals.

He played in a pair of games with the Cardinals in 2022 before reaching an injury settlement.

These two games were his last two NFL regular season appearances.View this post on InstagramA post shared by St.
