San Francisco is looking good during the preseason, defeating Las Vegas 22-19 on Saturday. One 49ers player received a ton of praise after the close win.<\/p>\n<p>49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan heaped praise on his kicker Jake Moody after the preseason victory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that was a hell of a day for him,\u201d Shanahan told reporters in his postgame press conference, per Kirk Larrabee. \u201cI thought he kicked his a** off and gives us a lot of confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moody connected on five field goals, accounting for most of the 49ers&#8217; 22 points. He drilled a 59-yard field goal as time expired to win the game. It is his longest field goal of his career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a great operation, great snap, great hold,\u201d Moody said about the game-winning kick. \u201cI got to see the ball for a long time. Usually when you get to see the ball for a while, that&#8217;s a good thing. I hit it really well; the guy rushing the edge tripped me, so I fell on the back and didn&#8217;t even get to see it. It was pretty cool to have everybody pick me up off the ground. Yeah, it was fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moody has met San Francisco&#8217;s lofty expectations early in the NFL career.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>49ers&#8217; Jake Moody is living up to lofty expectations in San Francisco<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3318149\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3318149\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/49ers-kicker-Jake-Moody.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/49ers-kicker-Jake-Moody.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/49ers-kicker-Jake-Moody.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/49ers-kicker-Jake-Moody.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/49ers-kicker-Jake-Moody.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/49ers-kicker-Jake-Moody.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" alt=\"49ers' Kyle Shanahan drops mic on Jake Moody: 'Kicked his a** off'\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3318149\">Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The 49ers drafted Moody in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. San Francisco caught everyone&#8217;s attention by using a day-two pick on a special teams player.<\/p>\n<p>But Moody has been excellent over the past two seasons, making the pick look defensible.<\/p>\n<p>Moody went 21-of-25 during his rookie season, but did take a step back in 2024. In fact, he missed 10 field goals and one extra point attempt during the regular season.<\/p>\n<p>But Moody&#8217;s spirits were high on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously it feels really good,\u201d Moody added. \u201cGlad I got a couple chances after the miss earlier to bounce back, get on track, get a couple different situations to throw myself in. I&#8217;m glad I got all those chances. I really appreciate the offense getting me in position, and that pick at the end, that was awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moody admitted that he is living his dream by playing with the 49ers. Nailing a game-winning kick certainly helps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was awesome,\u201d Moody concluded. \u201cThat&#8217;s the kind of stuff you dream of, making long game-winning kicks and getting picked up off the ground, celebrating with your teammates, so that was a pretty cool feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully Moody can rebound and have a great 2025 season this fall.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan praised kicker Jake Moody for making five field goals, including a game-winner, on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":79419,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[237,9,2709,12],"class_list":["post-79418","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-jake-moody","tag-nfl","tag-nfl-preseason","tag-san-francisco-49ers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>49ers&#039;
