Green Bay Packers rookie kicker Trey Smack is being tested early — and hard — as he tries to master Lambeau’s notorious winds. After missing four of nine kicks in practice last week, officials blamed the crosswind, a challenge no kicker in the NFC North can ignore. The team’s bold move to bench veteran Brandon McManus — despite his late-season consistency — puts all the pressure on Smack to prove he can deliver under pressure, especially in Wisconsin’s brutal conditions. With big expectations and little margin for error, Smack’s ability to adapt quickly could define his career — and the Packers’ kicking future.
