Bates currently kicks for the Michigan Panthers.
For those who missed it, the NFL's unofficial minor leagues — the United States Football League and Xtreme Football League — merged into the United Football League. The UFL's inaugural season, which began in March and spans 13 total games , is scheduled to conclude next month with its Championship contest.should recruit one of its standout players: Michigan Panthers kicker Jakes Bates.
"Wil Lutz struggled in his first season in Denver, missing two extra points and connecting on just 7-of-10 field goals beyond 40 yards in 2023," McGuinness wrote on May 9. He continued: "Meanwhile, Bates' 90.3 field goal grade through six weeks of the UFL season leads all kickers. He has the leg to make kicks from 60-plus yards with ease. An NFL team will bring him in at least as competition during training camp, and Denver is as realistic a destination as any.
Bates is an interesting story, a former first-team All-SEC kickoff specialist at Arkansas who went undrafted in 2023 and had a cup of coffee with the Houston Texans before finding a home with the upstart Panthers. He's helped the club to an appearance in the USFL Conference Championship , drilling 15 of 18 field goal attempts including a UFL-record 64-yarder.
