The two teams involved in this duel ultimately drew 20-20.
Blankenship has spent the past three seasons with the Colts, after finishing his college career with the Georgia Bulldogs. In 22 career NFL games, he made 45 of 54 field goals he attempted. He also maintained a 94.5% success rate on one-point conversions.
The Indianapolis organization has also offered contracts to kickers Chase McLaughlin and Lucas Havrisik. Both men have been added to the club’s training squad.
