Analysis
Strengths Has a powerful lower body and gets good trajectory on long-distance kicks. Has continued to add size and leg strength. Nailed 13 or 15 kicks of 40-plus yards this season including seven of nine from 50-plus. Kicks have desired end over end rotation. Finished career as the 24th most accurate kicker in FBS history. Banged kickoffs into touchbacks at a rate of 75 percent over the last two seasons. Has good operation time with hasty approach to strike the ball. His obsessive-compulsive disorder helps to create an orderly approach that has in part led to his success.
Weaknesses
Uses altered follow through for shorter kicks. Tends to short-leg shorter kicks, causing some inconsistencies with his accuracy. Takes questionable angles in his pursuit of kick returners. Has allowed three kick returns for touchdowns over last two seasons. Kickoff hang-time was slightly below average.
Draft Projection Round 3-4 NFL Comparison Dustin Hopkins
Bottom Line
Self-made, four-year starter who has steadily increased his kickoff distance and range as a field goal kicker. As the most prolific field goal kicker in FBS history, Gonzalez has a good chance of being drafted and becoming an instant starter.

Bottom Line: ... Gonzalez has a good chance of being drafted and becoming an instant starter.
Thanks for the legwork... combine this touchback clip with his reportedly high, FG trajectory and I think we have hang time options.
But isn't every drafted Kicker expected to start? <--- #rhetorical

OCD? yeah... you know me. It is odd to see it in writing... but aren't all kickers a little neurotic?

I know Gonzo has a 50-yd+ FG-range, but how is he on KO touchbacks?
Does he have enough power and control to elevate KOs for more hang time and inside-the-20 pins?

Tour, I have screamed for this a long time.The kid gets good height on his long kicks, so it looks like a real possibility.
