Buccaneers' Aguayo misses 2nd kick in 2 games

Fire up the they-took-a-kicker-in-the-second-round jokes.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Roberto Aguayo - the man the Bucs traded two picks in order to draft the man 59th overall in the 2015 draft - missed his second professional kick in just his second exhibition game.

A week after striking an upright on an extra-point attempt, Aguayo pushed a 32-yard field goal wide right to kill a Buccaneers drive that got into the red zone. It is his second miss in three kicks in the pros.

Aguayo was drafted early with the hopes he would shore up a Buccaneers kicking game that has been suspect for years. That he has yet to find his footing in preseason is more than concerning.

Bucs fans - and those in upper management - can only hope he's getting all his misses out while the games still don't matter. He finished the game with three made extra points and two field goals of 28 and 34 yards in length.
