The Washington Post wouldn't be surprised if the Redskins bring in competition for K Graham Gano in training camp. | ||||||
The Skins face a similar dilemma to the Cowboys with David Buehler. Kickoff returners averaged just 19.0 yards per against Gano, the second-lowest mark in the league. It was the opposite story on field goals, though, as Gano's 68.6 conversion rate was four percentage points lower than any other kicker. | ||||||

Gano missed a 30-yarder in Sunday's loss to the Giants and finished the season 24-of-35 on field goals. Among kickers with at least 16 attempts, his 68.6 percent conversion rate ranks dead last in the league. Gano will be hoping just to be part of a competition next August. | ||||||
