Michigan Panthers star kicker Jake Bates is reportedly signing a two-year deal with the NFL's Detroit Lions. Bates is coming off a standout season in the UFL, connecting on three 60-plus-yard field goals. The first of these was a game-winning 64-yarder in Week 1 that established the record for the longest field goal in league history and set the tone for the rest of the season.
Bates, whose efforts landed him on RJ Young's MVP power rankings twice during the regular season, finished the 2024 campaign connecting 75% of the time across the regular season and postseason. Bates, 24, played for Texas State from 2020-21 and Arkansas in 2022. He spent two weeks with the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent in 2023 before signing with the UFL's Panthers later in the year.
