During Friday's training camp practice, Spencer Shrader and Blake Grupe attempted their first field goals of training camp -- and Grupe has the early edge.
According to Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan, Grupe was perfect on his attempts, making all six kicks, which ranged from roughly 33 yards to 55 yards.
Special teams coordinator Brian Mason said on Thursday that Grupe has been "highly consistent" throughout the offseason.
Shrader was solid as well on Friday, but did miss one attempt to the left.
Mason mentioned that Shrader looks "completely healthy" coming off last season's ACL injury and that his leg strength looks "really good."
During the one minicamp practice where the two kicked earlier this offseason, Grupe held the advantage that day as well, going 5-for-5, while Shrader was 3-for-5.
That said, it's important to note that there have been other kicking sessions this offseason between the two that haven't taken place with media members present. So these early results may not be completely reflective of where things stand.
There is still a way to go, and ultimately consistency will be key.
