I'm lucky to be considered one of the best kickers in the league now, but it took an incredible and improbable season for that to happen. For those newer to the league, you may not know that I was by far the worst kicker in the NSFL during my rookie season. I went a dismal 73.7% on field goals, the worst field goal percentage in the league by 6.3%. On a team where every point mattered (because let's face it, that Yeti team did not score much), I missed 5 field goals as well as a rare extra point attempt. Of the punters that played the whole season, I had the worst punting average and least kicks inside the 20, being 11 (ELEVEN!) behind Stephen Harris of the Liberty. I ended up rated 7th out of 8 on The Specialist's S6 Review (thanks Peg Leg for having a shorter season) and even rated myself as a bust.
But the magic did start that season, as I went on to go 23 straight games without missing a kick, totalling 58 consecutive makes between the latter half of S6, all of S7, and much of S8. It wasn't easy, and there were many challenging kicks that I had to make to keep it alive - including the legendary game-winner against Arizona to snap the Yeti losing streak. That first year was hard, but it built me up to go through one of the more special specialist events of the league's history.
