The Kansas City Chiefs have signed former North Carolina kicker Connor Barth.

Barth established UNC's records for career field goals (54) and consecutive field goals (19) last season, and had been working out in Chapel Hill after being cut by the Chiefs in August. His brother, Casey, is now the kicker for the Tar Heels.

While UNC walk-on Casey Barth is preparing to share kicking duties against McNeese State tonight, his older brother Connor, UNC's kicker from the previous four seasons, will continue to look for an NFL kicking job.

According to the Kansas City Star, the Chiefs have chosen Nick Novak after a tight kicking competition. 

"The told me that if Nick doesn't do as well as they think he will, I should stay ready,'' Barth, an NFL rookie, told the paper.
