Placekickers | They both could kick a ball, but it was round, not oval. Before their careers were over, it was the oval football they kicked that made all the difference.
What a treat to listen to two of the NFL’s all-time great placekickers relate the unlikely roads they both took to become legends in the game.
The Placekickers
Jan Stenerud was on the field for the Chiefs, Packers and Vikings during a career that covered 1967-1985. He is the first pure placekicker to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Along with a Super Bowl win with the Chiefs and 4 Pro Bowls, he also transformed the placekicking game for all of football.
All of this coming almost by accident to a man who came from Norway to Montana State on a ski jumping scholarship.
Rolf Benirschke was a placekicker for the San Diego Chargers from 1978-1986. He retired as the all-time leader in points for the Chargers, an NFL Man of the Year Award winner and a fan of Stenerud.
Listen to his story of the inadvertent chance to kick a football that leads to his time in the NFL.
They watched each other kick, they learned from each other and they competed at the highest level with a talent that brought with it real sport’s pressure.
Two exuberant men, two unlikely careers, and two joyful stories told in their own words.
