Being a long time Viking fan, I certainly have "kicker fatigue", but lets give a shout out to Reichert.  59 yarder at Soldier Field and then a 62 yarder vs. the Bengals.  Looks solid so far!

Also, no missed extras points or field goals so far...

There was an offseason story about how Will and the Special Teams coach thought that he was suffering from fatigue last year and that's what caused the quad injury. They adjusted, got him on a different workout routine and we might be seeing the benefits. He was money in college.

Baby faced assassin is my fave so far...

Or Bond, James Bond would work too

William Tell
3 Willy
Dollar Bill

The baby faced assassin works, but its not really a nickname imo.

There countless ways to incorporate his names into nicknames, some more sill than others.

lol, I used to be superstitious about kickers, but even the best of them in the NFL have their bad moments. So far, so good with Will the Thrill in 2025. He's got a great mentality for the position.

lol, I think honestly Will the Thrill is kind of poking fun at how laid back off the field and baby-ish looking he is, yet how clutch. Like MB said, the baby-faced assassin. But he's emotional on the field, he mixed with other teammates unlike most kickers.
