MacGinnis was a member of the Dallas Renegades in the XFL earlier this year and made all 10 field goals he tried before the league suspended operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He was 9-of-11 as part of the Memphis entry in the Alliance of American Football’s short-lived inaugural season in 2019.

I saw that this was also mentioned in the other kicker's thread but I like this guy and thought he should get a thread of his own. He was doing really well for the XFL and I thought he was one of the guy's who would eventually get a chance with a team in the NFL. I honestly never thought it would be the Rams but I guess we're now in the "looking for a kicker" phase until further notice.

Sounds like there will be some competition for place kicker. That is a good thing. A big leg is nice, but I just want a reliable kicker inside of 50 yards. Our offense should be good enough to compete with anyone. We just don't want a missed FG from easier range to be the difference in a loss.

I agree, we want someone that can make the under 40 yards consistently, but it is nice if you have a guy that hit the 50+ some too, big weapon. Will see what these guys have...
