Background
Early life
Piñeiro was born on September 13, 1995, in Miami, Florida, to a Cuban father and Nicaraguan mother. His father, Eddy Sr., moved to the United States from Cuba at age nine during the Mariel boatlift of 1980 and later had a professional soccer career with the Fort Lauderdale Strikers of the ASL/APSL.
Piñeiro started off playing soccer like his father, and was a four-time All-Dade County pick in soccer. Despite having grown up only playing soccer, Piñeiro joined the Miami Sunset Senior High School football team as a senior, handling extra points and kickoffs.
College career
Piñeiro signed with Florida Atlantic on a scholarship to play soccer, but academic issues prevented him from attending. Piñeiro's dad encouraged him to try on football cleats and pads, but with no football scholarship, Piñeiro went on to play soccer for a small junior college, ASA College.
In 2015, Piñeiro went to an open kicking combine at Alabama. Out of hundreds of kickers, Alabama coach Nick Saban narrowed his scholarship offers to Chris Salek and Piñeiro. Piñeiro verbally committed to Alabama, but later tried out for Florida and ultimately chose to play there. Special Teams Coordinator Marc Nudelberg was instrumental in recruiting Piñeiro to UF.
Piñeiro played for the Gators during the 2016 and 2017 seasons. During his final year at Florida, Piñeiro had the best field goal percentage in the nation, making 17 out of 18 attempts for a 94.4% conversion rate. His career conversion rate of 88.4% (38-for-43) ranks first in school history (minimum 35 attempts), surpassing Bobby Raymond (who made 43 of 49 kicks, or 87.8%, in 1983 and 1984). Piñeiro's 38 made field goals rank sixth in school history, and his streak of 16 straight made field goals to close the 2017 season tied Jeff Chandler (2001) for the second-longest streak in program history.
Piñeiro declared for the 2018 NFL draft after only two seasons with the Gators.
Personal life
Piñeiro is a Christian. In 2017, he and his father, Eddy Sr., were awarded the Police Service Award from the Gainesville Police Department for helping a woman escape from a domestic abuser.
Piñeiro is the first player of Nicaraguan descent to play in the NFL. During his time with the Chicago Bears, in an October 2019 game against the Raiders in London, he received a glass sculpture as a gift from Nicaragua's ambassador to the United Kingdom.
