Den tidligere Atlanta Falcons- og New York Giants-kicker Younghoe Koo er blevet tilføjet New Orleans Saints’ spillerliste til årets rookie-minicamp som prøvespiller. Koo forsøger dermed at genvinde fodfæste i NFL efter flere skuffende optrædener.
Koo blev fritstillet af Falcons i 2022 efter at have misset et afgørende feltmål i en nederlagsweek 1 mod Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Senere samme sæson spillede han fem kampe for Giants, hvor han blandt andet missede et feltmål i et nederlag mod New England Patriots. Den fejl fik imidlertid en uventet positiv følge, da en tilskuer i Kentucky oplevede et anfald og senere blev diagnosticeret med en hjernetumor – en diagnose der blev stillet efter latteren over Koo’s misbrug.
Mens Koo var hos Giants, ramte han 4 ud af 6 feltmål og 11 ud af 12 ekstrapoint. I sin karriere har han i alt ramt 185 ud af 217 feltmål og 186 ud af 194 ekstrapoint. I New Orleans vender Charlie Smyth tilbage som holdets faste sparkespecialist, mens holdet også har skrevet kontrakt med den udraftede free agent Mason Shipley.
