He retired in 2007.<\/p>\n<p>From 1982 to 2007, Morten Andersen spent 25 seasons as a player in the NFL. Known by his nickname, the &#8220;Great Dane,&#8221; he was born in Denmark and arrived in the United States as an exchange student in 1977.<\/p>\n<p>In 1982, the New Orleans Saints selected the renowned kicker in the fourth round of the draft.

The Lou Groza Award, named after him, is given annually to the greatest collegiate kicker since he was such a strong player. He did, however, play a wide range of positions, including defensive lineman, center, and tackle. Groza, who spent 21 years playing in the league, is a legend. He has won four NFL championships.<\/p>\n<p>Despite not being selected, Groza joined the Cleveland Browns, where he played his whole playing career. Groza was the final member of the original Cleveland squad when he retired in 1967.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Today we celebrate the late Lou Groza, who was born on this day in 1924!

The Green Bay Packers, in addition to the Chiefs, acknowledged his abilities.<\/p>\n<p>Stenerud scored 580 extra points and made 373 field goals throughout his illustrious career. Stenerud, who retired in 1985, is inducted into the Hall of Fames of both the Green Bay Packers and the Chiefs.<\/p>\n<p>In his 19 seasons, Stenerud never missed a game and was so special to the Chiefs that they even retired his No. 3 jersey.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The only 2 kickers in the Pro Football Hall of Fame &#8212; Morten Andersen &amp; Jan Stenerud <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Vu0WUVvGGD\">pic.twitter.com\/Vu0WUVvGGD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Rick Gosselin (@RickGosselin9) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RickGosselin9\/status\/893553266994360320?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 4, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>George Blanda<\/h3>\n<p>George Blanda began his career as a quarterback and a kicker.
