The Leg broke onto the NFL scene with a 60-yard field goal in week four of the 2012 NFL season. Did he set the bar too high too early?
There have been 14 made field goals of 60 yards or longer in NFL history. One of those was kicked by Rams K Greg Zuerlein on Sept. 30, 2012.
Zuerlein would be asked too much of in his rookie year attempting 13 field goals of 50 yards or more. He settled in in his second season hitting 92.9% of his attempts in 2013, but a couple of tough games asked questions of Greg Zuerlein in 2014 that hadn't been asked up to that point.
