Mike Vanderjagt, renowned as one of the best kickers in NFL history, showcased both skill and swagger throughout his career. He notably led the NFL in scoring in 1999 and finished a historic 83 for 83 on field goals and extra points one season. Despite his undeniable impact on the game and his brash public persona, Vanderjagt's relationship with the Indianapolis Colts soured post-retirement, leaving him feeling unrecognized by the franchise, even expressing he deserves a spot in the team's Ring of Honor. His legacy, once untouchable, has been overshadowed by time and changing standards.
"I mean, 81.8 was the best at the time - I was miles ahead. I raised the standard."
"He'd chirp at coaches on the practice field, 'Left half or right half?' because simply splitting the uprights for an hour straight was too easy."
