Last year scouts around the league were not high on the Falcons decision to sign free agent kicker Jason Elam, who they considered "Over The Hill". Elam proved the doubters wrong, at least for the 2008 season.

Elam has only hit 10 of 16 field goals this season, and he has missed four field goals from 30-39 yards out, which is pretty awful. His accuracy ranks 30th best in the NFL, which means 15 out of 16 NFL kickers are more accurate than him.


Brandon Contu, Steven Hauschka, Sam Swant and Shane Andrus all worked out with the Falcons on Tuesday, as Atlanta looked to replace the future Hall-Of-Fame kicker.
