NFL – Atlanta Falcons: German kicker Lenny Krieg gets his first jersey number

The Atlanta Falcons have announced the jersey numbers of their new signings. Among them is German kicker Lenny Krieg.

The franchise announced the numbers of its new signings on Wednesday. A total of 21 players now have a new NFL jersey number with the Falcons.

All numbers from 0 to 99 are included. Kicker Lenny Krieg will also play for the Georgia franchise in the coming season. His jersey will feature the number 46.

Krieg signed with the Falcons just under a month ago to boost competition for starting kicker Younghoe Koo, who underperformed last season.

Lenny Krieg impressed at the Combine

At the Combine, where Krieg was allowed to participate as part of the International Pathway Players Program, he was the only player to convert all 14 of his field goal attempts between 35 and 55 yards.

Shortly afterwards, the Falcons signed him to a three-year contract worth just under three million US dollars.

As an IPP player, Krieg would have been eligible for an additional practice squad spot in the upcoming season. However, the Falcons saw more in the German and signed him directly to their roster.
