    The most under-rated kicker in the NFL, he will be missed. Rest and recover, you’ve earned it after 19 years of flawless performance. In my eyes, you are the best kicker in the game, and the Lions need your consistency, your leadership. Thank you for all the years you’ve given us, may there be 19 more in your future.

    The Detroit Lions have had 2 placekickers spanning 35 years. One thing Detroit football fans can rely on. Think of the lean years (all 19 of them) and how much worse they would have been without knowing that a 45 yarder is near automatic.
