Crosby era over in Green Bay?
Sixteen years ago, the Green Bay Packers used a sixth-round pick on kicker MASON CROSBY. In the sixth round of the NFL Draft on Saturday, the Packers drafted Auburn kicker ANDERS… More CARLSON, likely signaling the end of Crosby’s long run in Green Bay. Crosby, who remains a free agent, is the Packers’ all-time leading scorer. Carlson, meanwhile, is the brother of Las Vegas Raiders kicker DANIEL CARLSON. Less

Factoid: Up-and-coming kickers
The four highest-scoring kickers were all lightly regarded prospects entering the season. I don’t think Daniel Carlson, Jason Sanders, Younghoe Koo or Tyler Bass were selected among the first 10 kickers in the vast majority of drafts.

Vikings give kicker Forbath the boot
The Minnesota Vikings released kicker KAI FORBATH on Monday and will head into the 2018 season with rookie DANIEL CARLSON handling the kicking duties. Forbath missed eight extra point attempts in… More 1 ½ seasons in Minnesota and didn’t possess the leg strength for longer kicks. Carlson was selected in the fifth round and is the highest-drafted kicker in franchise history. Less

Factoid: Minnesota kickers
I see that Kai Forbath was miffed, apparently, when the Vikings selected Daniel Carlson in the fifth round. Likely worried he might lose his job, Forbath hung up when asked to comment on the pick. more »
