The Green Bay Packers held their Family Night scrimmage on Saturday night and Mason Crosby was one of the stars of the evening.

There couldn’t have been a better setting for him to have his best performance of training camp.

Many fans have been questioning whether Crosby can be the kicker of the future after connecting on just 75 percent of his attempts in 2009. Coach Mike McCarthy has backed the four-year veteran by not bringing in another kicker as competition.

Regardless, going 7-for-8 in front of an announced crowd of 47,844 was significant in terms of fan confidence.

"It’s a scrimmage, but it’s Lambeau and it’s a game-like situation," Crosby said. "We’ve got to perform. That’s what people want to see. It was good to come out here and hit the ball well and see the operation is getting as sharp as it needs to be."

Crosby connected on field goals of 26, 31, 36, 41, 47, 51 and 53 yards. The lone miss came from 44 yards. Crosby said the 53-yarder was the longest field goal he has made in training camp. He entered the night 19-for-27.

"The ball came off his foot very well tonight," McCarthy said. "Even on the kickoffs. We had to slow him up a little just so we could get the returns. He’s a very strong, gifted kicker."

No competition for Crosby

The team has no plans to bring in another kicker to compete with Mason Crosby during training camp, McCarthy said.

Crosby was drafted in the sixth round in 2007 and was the first rookie in 22 years to lead the league in scoring. However, his field goal percentage dropped to a career-low 75 percent in 2009.

“We’re committed to Mason,” McCarthy said. “He’s done a good job in the offseason. He’s outstanding in the strength and conditioning aspect of it.”
