61-Yard Field Goal Helped Open Door for New Packers Kicker

GREEN BAY, Wis. – In more than 100 seasons of Green Bay Packers football, Mason Crosby’s 58-yard field goal in 2011 is the longest in franchise history.

Ramiz Ahmed, who the Packers signed on Sunday, made a USFL-record 61-yard field goal for the Pittsburgh Maulers in June.

“The drive before, we had a chance to kick a 64-yard field goal,” Ahmed said after Monday’s practice. “I was telling coach, ‘Let me hit it, let me hit it, let me hit it.’ But he was like, ‘Yeah, 64’s pretty far.’ So, we punted it and we pinned them deep, so it was a good decision.
