Greg Zuerlein has said that he will learn from his missed field goal attempts following his first season in the NFL.

The rookie kicker made his first 15 efforts for the St Louis Rams this season, but then missed eight of his last 16.

The 25-year-old told the Rams' website: "Confidence is really big in kicking. Anytime you miss, your confidence kind of gets shaken a little bit but it's just something that you learn from and just keep moving forward.

"Anytime you miss you are not going to be happy with it whether it's a 55-yarder or a PAT, either way you are not going to be happy with it. Any of those kicks, I feel I should have made and I have just got to learn from it and get better.

"I had a great time. I wish the season had gone a little better for us and myself personally but it's over now and we have just got to keep getting better and move forward."

The Rams missed out on the playoffs, finishing third in the NFC West with seven wins, eight losses and a tie.
