Known for having one of the strongest legs in the league, Zuerlein comes to Dallas to compete with current incumbent kicker Kai Forbath, who finished last season on a good note for the Cowboys. 

Zuerlein is an 82-percent kicker for his career, hitting 201 out of 245 attempts over the last eight seasons, with a long of 61 yards. He is also 264-of-270 for his career on extra-point attempts and has a 66.5-percent touchback percentage. 

Zuerlein is now reunited with his former special teams coach, John Fassel, who came over from the Rams to join Mike McCarthy's staff following last season.
