Jason Myers: Latest News, Stats and What’s Next
Jason Myers has been a name you hear a lot whenever the Seattle Seahawks line up for a field‑goal attempt. Whether you’re a die‑hard NFL fan or just someone who enjoys a good kick, this page gives you the freshest scoop on his performance, health and upcoming chances to shine.
Career Snapshot
Born in Carlsbad, California, Myers entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2015. After stints with the New York Giants and the New York Jets, he landed in Seattle, where he finally found a home. Over the past three seasons he has posted a career‑high field‑goal percentage of 86% and a career‑long of 58 yards. Those numbers put him among the most reliable kickers in the NFL, and they’re the reason Seattle trusts him in clutch moments.
Myers isn’t just about accuracy. He’s known for his calm under pressure – think that overtime win against the Rams in 2023 when he nailed a 45‑yard try with seconds left. That kind of poise is a big reason why the Seahawks keep him on the roster despite the salary‑cap gymnastics that come with keeping a top‑tier kicker.
What’s Coming Up
As the 2025 season kicks off, Myers faces a few key tests. First, the Seahawks have a tough early schedule, opening against the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs – both teams whose defenses often force kicks from difficult angles. If Myers can stay above 85% on those attempts, it will give Seattle a huge edge in close games.
Injuries are another factor. Myers missed a few games last year due to a groin strain that lingered longer than expected. Team trainers say the issue is mostly healed, but they’re monitoring his workload closely. Expect a slight reduction in practice reps, but the coaching staff says he’ll be game‑ready by Week 2.
Fans in South Africa can follow his progress via the NFL’s official app, which streams every game live. South Africa Buzz News will keep an eye on his weekly stats, especially field‑goal percentage and extra‑point success, and we’ll update you if anything changes – like a sudden drop or a record‑breaking streak.
Beyond the field, Myers is active in community work. He runs a youth football camp in Seattle every summer, teaching kids both technique and the importance of discipline. If you’re interested in supporting these programs, the Seahawks’ website lists donation options and volunteer opportunities.
Finally, keep an eye on the trade rumors. While the Seahawks aren’t likely to move their reliable kicker mid‑season, a few teams with shaky kicking units have been mentioned as potential suitors. If a trade does happen, it could shake up the AFC West dynamics and give Myers a new environment to showcase his skills.
Bottom line: Jason Myers is a steady, high‑performing kicker who should keep Seattle in most close games this year. Stay tuned to South Africa Buzz News for weekly updates, game analyses and any breaking news about his status. Whether you’re tracking his numbers or just cheering for a good kick, we’ve got you covered.
