Since 1985, kickers have been a powerful custom for the Chicago Bears. To begin with Kevin Butler, who was drafted in 1985 and has been a part of the Super Bowl winning team. Butler was the foremost kicker for the Chicago Bears for a full decade. During his tenure with the club, he was able to bit the scoring record held by Walter Payton for most points scored with 1,116 points. In his rookie year, he scored a biblical 144 points and has also been able to make a record for most points scored during a rookie season.
After achieving three field goals in the Super Bowl, Butler enjoyed success with the Chicago Bears in blue and orange for the rest of the time. In 1997, he retired as an Arizona Cardinals. However, the kicking tradition at present at present is being carried on by his son. Being drafted to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2012, he is now on the roster for the Chicago Bears. It is assumed that he can follow in his father’s footsteps to put some show in the Super Bowl.
At present, however, the Chicago Bears have one of the best kickers in the NFL history. With the title of the third most accurate kicker in NFL history, Robbie Gould has been a consistent player for the Bears. He has several special teams’ awards to his credit and has also set numerous franchise records. Signing a deal with the Chicago Bears in 2005 from the New England Patriots, Robbie Gould is one of the highest paid kickers in the NFL.
Robbie Gould has successfully carried on the work started by Kevin Butler and hopefully will continue with his good play in the future. He is so good and accurate in his kicks on the field that fans and followers called his kicks as ‘Good as Gold’ in reference to his name.
