A four-year starter at Georgia State, Will Lutz, a former walk-on, holds the school records for most field goals (31), extra points (120) and points (213). The Baltimore Ravens signed Will as an undrafted free agent after the 2016 Draft but waived him following the preseason. From Baltimore, Will was invited to tryout with the New Orleans Saints and earned the starting spot on September 5, 2016 with a raving endorsement to the media from Sean Peyton, who would later trade for Lutz after taking a job with the Denver Broncos. He was named to the PFWA All-Rookie Team for the 2016 Season and was 28/34.
