Gary Anderson (1998-2002)
538 for 652 (80.1%)
Anderson will always be known for missing the kick against the Falcons, his first miss of the year. He was a 4x Pro Bowler, 1x 1st Team All-Pro, 1x 2nd Team All-Pro.
Greg Joseph (2021-2023)
116 for 141 (82.3%)
Greg the leg was an excellent kicker that might have been undone by XPs.

Longwell spent his first 9 seasons in Green Bay before playing 6 years in Minnesota.
Blair Walsh (2012-2016)
154 for 187 (82.4%)
Walsh was 1st Team All-Pro and a Pro Bowler his rookie season. He famously missed a FG so wide left it barely stayed on the screen. He was cut midway through the following season.
Fuad Reveiz (1990-1995)
188 for 250 (75.2%)
Not the greatest kicker ever, but he spent 10 years int he league and was named 2nd Team All-Pro in 1994. He also made his only Pro Bowl that year.

70 for 106 (66.0%)
Danmeier spent all 6 of his seasons in Minnesota.
Kai Forbath (2016-2017)
133 for 154 (86.4%)
All Forbath did was make FGs and get cut. He played for 7 teams in 9 years and performed well everywhere he went. He has the best FG% of anyone on this list.
Will Reichard (2024 – present)
24 for 30 (80.0%)
Will the Thrill played well his rookie year. He was perfect until an injury kept him out of a few games.
