Michigan fans know just how special kicker Jake Moody is and how much of an impact he can make for a football team. The San Francisco 49ers are finding that out. After a mostly successful rookie season in 2023, Moody is off to a terrific start to the 2024 campaign.

Playing on Monday Night Football against the New York Jets, Moody was the 49ers' source of points. Moody tied a 49ers' franchise record with six made field goals in a single game. The former Wolverine great went 6-for-6 and also made two extra points. Moody nailed a 23, 31, 42, 46, 51, and a 53-yard field goal on MNF.

On top of that, Moody is currently leading the entire NFL with 20 points scored. Steelers' kicker Chris Boswell and Eagles' running back Saquan Barkley both have 18 points to their names and are tied for second behind Moody.
