The San Francisco 49ers got four solid seasons of production from kicker Phil Dawson, but the new regime decided to go in a different direction in 2017. The team signed free agent Robbie Gould on the first day of free agency, and it worked about as well as could be expected.
Gould was named an alternate to the Pro Bowl after a season in which he converted 39 of 41 field goal attempts, including all four from 50 yards and beyond. He missed two extra points on the season, but Football Outsiders ranked the team’s field goal and extra point group second in the league.
