Dak Prescott Gives Cowboys Rookie Kicker Brandon Aubrey New Nickname

Rookie Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey was money in the team's 20-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday, nailing his 15th and 16th consecutive field goals. That earned him the nickname of "Butter" Aubrey, dubbed by none other than quarterback Dak Prescott.

Aubrey has made a statement, nearing Cleveland Browns kicker Travis Coons' record from back in 2015.

In a postgame interview about the performance, Prescott was asked about his thoughts on Aubrey.

“He’s butter. Butter Aubrey,” Prescott said. “Smooth. Always has been since the day that he showed up.”

Aubrey is only the sixth kicker in NFL history to ignite his career with a 6-for-16 on field goals. He’s 7-for-7 from 20-29 yards, 6-for-6 from 30-39, 1-1 from 40-49 and 2-for-2 from 50-59. His career-long so far is from 55 yards out. Aside from one missing point attempt, Aubrey has been nothing short of perfect.

Although Aubrey started the season with a slight lack of experience, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had no doubts about Aubrey.

“No. Not at all,” Jones said in regards to Aubrey's level of experience. “Because sometimes I’ve seen what happens when you go into one with someone who’s kicked before and I didn’t like that. That doesn’t necessarily ensure you anything.”

Aubrey initially has an MLS career plays soccer at Notre Dame after growing up in DFW and playin for Plano High School. He then plays for the Birmingham Stallions where he was signed by the Cowboys.

He made is debut as a football player when Birmingham signed him out of USML's 2022 Draft. He contract, having ended on July 3rd, gave him enough time to finish out the season 14-for-15 on field goals and 35-for-35 on point-after attempts.

Two weeks into the preseason, the Cowboys released the only other kicker on their roster, Tristan Viscaino, which made it easy for Aubrey to take on the job of becoming the new starting kicker for Dallas. So far, for the Cowboys, the strategy has worked out entirely in their favor.
