Kickers get a lot of flak at every level of the sport for not being a “real football player”. They might not practice as much or as hard as many of the other positions, but when the pressure is on, nobody has it harder than a kicker. One ill-timed miss can ruin a reputation for years, and some organizations will move on from a kicker at the drop of a hat after just one or two mistakes. Chris Boswell knows the feeling all too well.
If you look in the record books, Boswell is one of the best kickers of all time.
