Who am I?

October 7, 2008 by Paul Gotham 5 Comments

I was born in Budapest, Hungary, but attended college at Cornell. I was drafted by the Buffalo Bills and played two years in Western New York. For one season I led the AFL in field goals attempted and made, and in another I set the standard for extra points attempted. I played in one Pro Bowl. Though I only played eleven seasons during an era when the schedule consisted of 14 games my career number for extra points made still ranks in the top 50. I have two claims to fame – I was the first soccer-style place kicker. Also I was the first player to go from the AFL to the NFL.
