Pittsburgh Steelers’ new Special Teams Coordinator Danny Crossman will maintain Chris Boswell’s successful routine rather than altering it. Boswell, recognized as the franchise's best kicker, will continue his tradition of not kicking until June, a strategy that has helped preserve his leg strength as he enters his 30s. Crossman emphasizes the importance of not fixing what isn't broken, allowing Boswell to focus on technique and situational training without disrupting his established approach.

By the Numbers
  • Chris Boswell has an 87.4% field goal conversion rate since his 30th season.
  • From 50-plus yards, his conversion rate is 40%, significantly up from 88% in his 20s with only nine attempts from that distance.
State of Play
  • Crossman acknowledges the importance of Boswell’s established routine for his performance.
  • The Steelers have signed kicker Laith Marjan to assist during the offseason training, providing depth behind Boswell.
What's Next

The preparation for the mandatory minicamp starting on June 2nd will mark the beginning of Boswell’s kicking activities for the season. Additionally, Crossman will work on refining Boswell's technique while respecting his established routine.

Bottom Line

Maintaining Chris Boswell’s proven routine could be key to his sustained performance, underscoring the principle that sometimes in coaching, the best decision is to let successful habits continue unimpeded.
