The Chiefs new kicker might have the best Twitter name in the NFL
 

The Kansas City Chiefs lost kicker Cairo Santos to injured reserve on Tuesday. The Chiefs haven’t said yet whether he is marked for a potential return after eight weeks or whether he’s done for the year. They did, however, bring in a new kicker from the Panthers practice squad, Harrison Butker.

Butker is going to wear the hallowed No. 7 jersey in Kansas City but we’re not here to talk about him overtaking Matt Cassel’s legacy. We’re here to talk about his Twitter name.

It's @ButtKicker87.

****.

I always thought Mike Cox could have had an epic Twitter handle.

I assumed it would be @HairyButt or something like that.

It seems surprising to me that Carolina let this guy go if they thought enough of him to keep him around on the practice squad. They must have had some doubts about Gano if they used a draft pick on a kicker.

Here's Butker in an interview with his rookie agent. Butker was the agent's first (only?) client:

Butker is 6'4". Santos is 5'8". One extreme to the other.

I didn't know that Cairo got seriously injured. :( Speedy recovery, Brazilian Midget.

This kid will take the midgets job.

Shocked the Raiders didn't do this when Seabass went on IR

If he really is this good, it'll be great to have another good, young kicker.

I was really hoping it would be @HarryButt****er

I thought that's exactly what they did with their current kicker?

But....
