When the Oakland Raiders selected kicker Sebastian Janikowski in the first round of the 2000 NFL Draft, that pick sent shockwaves through the Draft "experts." But the rogues’ gallery of kickers that came through Oakland after Jeff Jaeger that included Cole Ford, Michael Husted, and Greg Davis, begged the question, “why not?”
When I first saw the two-time Lou Groza Award-winner in person, I thought, “this is a kicker?” Listed at 6’1”, 258 pounds, “Seabass” strikes an imposing figure. He is quiet most of the time.
