The struggles of San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody nearly cost the team in their Week 1 season opener against the Seattle Seahawks. And it seems as if 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan isn't willing to risk the possibility of another poor performance from Moody in the future, potentially contributing to a loss later on in the season.

Moody came to the NFL with a lot of hype after standing out at the University of Michigan, making 82 percent of his kicks over the course of his collegiate career, which resulted in the 49ers selecting Moody with a third-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Very few kickers end up getting selected in the NFL Draft, much less with a third-round pick. Thus far, Moody's NFL career has been an example of why it is rather risky to draft a kicker.
