With how talented kickers have become in 2025, it is easy to be replaced. The achievement of field goals from 50 meters or closer at a consistent pace is the new standard in the NFL.
At the end of the 2024 season, the San Francisco 49ers had problems with their field targets, Jake Moody. These problems were performed in the 2025 season and the team was fast to correct them. On Tuesday, the 49 people saw Jake Moody after three seasons. San Francisco used a third round pick on Moody in the design of 2023.

In the NFL design of 2023, the 49ers used the 99th general choice to select Jake Moody from Michigan. Since 2000 he has been one of the 49 kickers to be drawn up. Let alone chosen in the third round. However, Moody had a family tree from the university. He was named an all-American with Michigan in 2021. During that season, Moody 23-25 went on field goals and 56-56 on extra point attempts. During his last collegial season in 2022, Moody led the nation with 35 attempt to make field goals and 29 field goals.
As Rookie with the 49 people in 2023, Jake Moody played in all 17 games. He was 21-25 over field goals and 60-61 on extra point attempts. Moody wore that momentum in his 2024 campaign. He started the year 13-14 on field goals, but suffered a straight ankle. After missing three games, Moody made a comeback, but he wasn’t.

Upon returning to week 10, Moody 11-20 went. Jake Moody looked like another player at the end of 2024. Unfortunately, in his first match in 2025, he was a 27-year field goal against the Seahawks in week 1 and had blocked a 36-year field goal. On Tuesday, Mooday was abandoned by the 49 people. Since then they have replaced him with experienced Kicker Eddy Piñeiro.
The soon 30-year-old brought the last three seasons as Kicker for the Carolina Panthers. He was not again signed this season and waited for a chance. After just one week, the 49 people applied a kick change and adopted Eddy Piñeiro. In the past three seasons, Piñeiro made 88.9% of his field goal attempts for the Panthers. Much better than the production that the 49ers received from Jake Moody. Eddy Piñeiro will kick San Francisco in their week 2 -matchup versus de Saints.
