RE: Free Agent Tryout Camp for placekickers, punters, and long snappers--results

On Sunday, April 9 National Kicking Service conducted a limited free agent tryout evaluation camp in Orlando, Florida. Enclosed are the results of those players rated either "pro level now," or "potential pro level player" based only on performance at the tryout. All evaluations are based on absolute strict tryout criteria.

If you would like more information about any of these players feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,
