Rodrigo Blankenship is looking for a new home in the NFL. The former Georgia kicker was released by the Colts on Tuesday. His potential game winning kick against the Titans was wide right. The game ended tied at 20-20.

Blankenship had an outstanding career at Georgia. He made 80% of his field goals and never missed an extra point for the Bulldogs from 2016-2019.
