It’s a shame this is what he’s remembered for, because he was a pretty good kicker. He was one of the early soccer-style kickers - those of you under 30 might not even know the term because it’s what everyone does now. There is no need to distinguish styles anymore; it’s just kicking.

I’m a skins man, and that was the first SB I ever watched. He WAS a good kicker.

I believe he was the first soccer style kicker and played for the Lions. He was the bane of Alex Karras who relayed the “keek a touchdown” story. It may have not been true.
