The New England Patriots kicker was nominated by his peers as the best kicker in the NFL.
ESPN polled 24 kickers to hear their thoughts on which player is the best kicker in the NFL. New England Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski came in first place, ahead of Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker, and Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri.
As these ratings are based on recency bias, we just have to look over the past year or so to determine why these kickers came to this conclusion.
