Paul Edinger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul Edinger (born January 17, 1978 in Frankfort, Michigan; raised in Lakeland, Florida) is a free agent National Football League kicker. Edinger has previously played for the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings. In his six NFL seasons (2000-05), he has never missed a PAT kick. Edinger is known to use the corkscrew kicking motion. His style is notable in that before the snap he faces backwards in the direction of the opposite side of the field. As the ball is snapped he turns as he steps in a circular pattern toward the ball. He currently holds the Viking's record for the longest field goal kicked: a kick of 56 yards which also happens to be his career long. On October 23, 2005 Edinger kicked the 56 yard game winner against the Green Bay Packers at the Metrodome.
