The New Orleans Saints have added a third kicker to their roster, signing Zach Hocker after this weekend's minicamp, according to a league source.
Hocker, who was waived by the Miami Dolphins earlier this month, has tried out for the Saints at least twice before, most recently last December.
The Saints already have two kickers on the roster in Shayne Graham and Dustin Hopkins.
After signing offensive lineman Antonio Johnson on Sunday, the Saints made corresponding roster move to create room for Hocker on the 90-man roster, waiving linebacker Stephon Sanders.

Are you a Pothead Hocker!

Beast...

There is competition at every spot except starting QB and possibly #1 CB.

I'm kinda rooting for Dustin Hopkins. Graham's been good but I'd like to get back to actually attempting 50 yard FG's instead of punting. Oh, and I don't know anything about Hocker... So if he's good enough then he'd be ok with me too.

I just want to know, can he kick?

Re: Saints sign kicker Zach Hocker after minicamp
 

They can all kick.

Question is, can they kick in an NFL stadium of 65,000 fans every Sunday?!?

And can they do it in the playoffs?!?

Holy crap! Awesome contribution!

Re: Saints sign kicker Zach Hocker after minicamp
 

With 3 kickers in camp I hope this means the end for Shane Graham. He just can not kick the long ones anymore.

Nice to see that old OCD, attention-deficit disorder, what-have-you-done-for-me-lately streak in Payton's personality coming to the foreground again. Competition at every position -- it feels very 2006. Throw 'em against the wall, see who sticks -- one of these kickers could turn out to be a real gem.

Welcome, Good luck.

Welcome to the Saints!

Good to have a bit of competition at the K spot.

Also would be good to have two competent kickers on the roster and then if one gets injured you know you have a good back-up to take over the position.

Guess they will find a big difference in the NFL though, got to be able to handle the pressure, the away fans and be expected to make the long kicks on a regular basis in all weather conditions.

GEAUX SAINTS!

We don't need a kicker, we're going for it on 4th down & going for 2pt conversion or we're punting

Re: Saints sign kicker Zach Hocker after minicamp
 

Hell! It'd be good to have one competent kicker!
