“I don’t play football for money; I play for my love of the Packers.”
The Green Bay Packers have made it official — veteran kicker Brandon McManus will be the starter for the 2025 NFL season.
And while some might have seen this coming, the way McManus earned it — and what he represents — has fans buzzing across social media.
💥 Why McManus? Why Now?
With a decade of NFL experience under his belt, McManus brings more than just a powerful leg — he brings poise under pressure and a championship mindset.
✅ Career field goal percentage over 81%
✅ Clutch playoff performances
✅ Leadership presence in the locker room
After a competitive offseason battle, coaches say McManus didn’t just win the job — he owned it.
“His consistency, his confidence, and his connection with the team made this an easy decision,” said Special Teams Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.
🧀 A Player Who Wants to Be in Green Bay
Earlier this year, McManus made headlines when he turned down a bigger offer from another team to stay with the Packers.
“This place gives me a feeling no other team can. I don’t play football for money — I play for my love of the Packers.”
That kind of loyalty? You can’t teach it.
📢 Fans React: “He’s Built for Lambeau Pressure”
Packers fans wasted no time celebrating the decision:
-
“Finally — a kicker with ice in his veins and green in his heart.”
-
“McManus in the cold at Lambeau? That’s MONEY.”
-
“We’ve needed this kind of veteran reliability for years!”
🧠 What This Means for the 2025 Season
Green Bay has built a young, explosive core — and now they’ve got a rock-solid veteran ready to finish drives when it counts.
McManus isn’t just the kicker. He’s the closer.
