Adam Vinatieri Announces Retirement
4 years agoFormer New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri announced his plans to retire from the NFL on Wednesday. Vinatieri dealt with injuries and struggled in 2019 and didn't play at all in 2020. The living legend is considered the greatest kicker of all time, and he retires as the only kicker to have converted 250-plus field goals with multiple teams -- 320 with the Colts and 263 with the Patriots. The 48-year-old played 24 seasons in the league and made some of the most clutch kicks in the sport while willing four Super Bowls -- three with the Pats and one with the Colts. Vinatieri is the sports' all-time leading scorer (2,605) and also holds the record for field goals made (583), total games played and consecutive field goals made (44). He also has the most seasons with 100-plus points (21), most playoff points (238) and most consecutive games scoring (32). Vinatieri will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. What a career.
