Justin MedlockWhen it comes to pro football, we’ve heard questions about the abilities of black quarterbacks and black coaches to perform but why haven’t we heard questions about the abilities of black placekickers?

Give up?

The answer is, “because there aren’t any.”

Perhaps, this draft could see that change because, UCLA’s Justin Medlock could be the first black placekicker to be drafted by the NFL.

Medlock is considered to be the most accurate kicker in this year’s draft, with a career success rate of 79%.

So, watch out on draft day. We could be seeing another first.
