The New York Jets are making a change at kicker heading into the 2025 season, as they announced on Friday that they've released Greg Zuerlein. The 37-year-old signed with New York ahead of the 2022 season and spent the last three seasons with the team.
Zuerlein was drafted out of Division II Nebraska-Omaha by the St. Louis Rams in 2012 and immediately made a name for himself in the NFL, literally. He earned the nicknames "Greg the Leg" and "Legatron" thanks to knocking through 100% of his extra point attempts and a season-long field goal of 60 yards as a rookie.
