Adam Vinatieri Aging Like a Fine Wine Full of Greatness

Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri never ceases to amaze, as the 21-year veteran is seemingly getting better with age–like a fine wine full of greatness.

Consider that the 43 year old has now made 68 of 71 (95.8%) of field goals over the past 3 seasons. In fact, he’s made 38 field goals now in a row, which is the 3rd most all-time in NFL history behind former Colts kicker Mike Vanderjagt–who once made 42 consecutive field goals.

When the Colts signed Vinatieri in 2006, there was talk that while the longtime New England Patriots clutch kicker was still one of the most accurate kickers in football, he had lost a little bit of his leg already on longer kicks.
