4. Pineiro hit 28 of his last 29 FGs at Florida

You want accuracy? Pineiro has it. In his final year at Florida he hit 17 of 18 FGs, his only miss coming from 47 yards away. More so, if you go back to 2016, Pineiro hit 11 consecutive field goals to end the year.

Hitting 28 of his last 29 FGs is great, but it’s not like he was poor prior to that. Pineiro owned an 88.3% FG success rate at Florida for his career. He doesn’t have a problem consistently getting kicks through the uprights.

Being the Chicago Bears kickers over the last few years have had accuracy rates closer to 75% rather than 90%, Pineiro is off to a good start with these college stats.
