What to expect from Adam Vinatieri in 2016

Often the most underrated player on the roster, a kicker can make or break your season. Entering his 11th season with the Colts, Adam Vinatieri shows no signs of slowing down. The 43-year old converted 25 of his 27 field goal attempts in 2015, including four of his five 50-plus yard attempts. That field goal percentage (92.6) was good enough for fourth in the league.

The oldest player to ever play in the NFL was quarterback George Blanda, who played until he was 48 (which is frankly unreal). Obviously Vinatieri isn’t subject to the same sort of punishment that a quarterback would face and likely won’t take a single hit this season.
