Overview
- Multiple reporters say San Francisco has shown extensive interest in Houston’s Ethan Sanchez, who was a Lou Groza Award semifinalist.
- The team has made no move at the position after extending Eddy Piñeiro on a four-year, $17 million deal with $10 million guaranteed following a 28-for-29 season.
- Given only six picks and none after the fourth round, local coverage frames Sanchez as a possible undrafted free-agent target or offseason competition rather than a likely draft pick.
- The Eagles, Commanders and Falcons have also been linked to Sanchez, indicating a broader market for the kicker prospect.
- Sanchez went 21-for-26 on field goals with perfect extra points in 2025 and logged notable pre-draft contact, including an hour-long call with the Eagles and a private meeting after his Pro Day.
