Sure, kickers get a bad rap. Many fans give them way too much blame when things go bad, and rarely enough credit when they’re consistently getting the job done. But if you want a reminder of how valuable a reliable kicker can be, look no further than New York Jets legend, Pat Leahy.
Perhaps the most true New York Jets player in history, no player has ever appeared in more games for the Gang Green than Leahy, who suited up 250 times. Leahy joined the Jets in 1974, and spent the entirety of his 17-year NFL career with the team.
