Unexpectedly, Detroit Lions star player Sam LaPorta had to resign.
The kicker who participated in all three playoff games and finished the regular season with the team was brought back by Detroit on Thursday. In 2022, Badgley kicked for the Lions as well.
He converted all four of his field goals in four regular season games, and in the playoffs, he helped the Lions win their first postseason game in almost thirty years by tying a team record with a 54-yard field goal against the Los Angeles Rams.
Since making his NFL debut in 2018 with the Chargers, Badgley has made 98 of 119 field goals while playing for the Los Angeles Chargers, Indianapolis, Tennessee, Chicago, and the Lions.
