GOAT PK HOLDER

Tell that to this year's Cleveland Browns.
One year in the late '80s they went through about five quarterbacks.
They literally found Don Strock on a golf course.

 

Didn't DB Charlie Waters used to hold for the Cowboys back in the day? Wasn't Theisman the Redskins' holder?

 

Joe Montana

 

DB Nolan Cromwell held for the LA Rams in the late '70s and '80s.

He was a college quarterback at Kansas and I seem to remember him throwing a TD pass in OT to win a game.

 

Koy "Original Neckbeard" Detmer.

 

All-Pro FS Larry Wilson of the football Cardinals was the holder in the late 60s/early 70s and it was unusual enough that teevee commentators usually remarked on it.

Theismann did hold for the Skins for several seasons when he was behind Kilmer and Jurgensen as the No. 3 QB. He also returned kicks at times during those years.

 

I eagerly await the GOAT: LONG SNAPPER thread.

Always remember the TV commentators calling Cromwell the best athlete in the NFL. Wasn't he a decathlete at Kansas too?

 

From Wikipedia:
Cromwell played in the town of Ransom, Kansas while attending Logan High School as a freshman, helping the basketball team win a state championship. ... He was a national AAU junior champion in the decathlon, a three-time state champion in track and earned consensus All-State honors in football and basketball. He was named the Wichita Eagle’s high school football player of the decade for the 1970s.[1]

(At Kansas) Cromwell also earned All-America honors in the 600-yard run and the 440-hurdles while setting KU records in the 600-meter and 400-meter yard runs, the intermediate hurdles (a record he still holds at 49:47) and the decathlon and qualified for the US Olympic trials in the low hurdles.[2]

He was part of the Big-8 champion mile relay team in 1975 and 1976 and was the Big-8 440-yd/400-meter hurdle champ in both 1975 and 1976. With Cromwell's contributions the 1975 Jayhawk track team finished ranked second in the NCAA in outdoor track and fifth in indoor track while capturing both titles for the Big-8 Conference. In 1976 they repeated as Big-8 indoor champs and were second in outdoor while finishing tied for 9th in the NCAA in indoor competition and tied for 20th in outdoor competition.

 

Who has the most wins as a holder? Most rings?
