Sebastian Janikowski
Sebastian Janikowski ((:sɛˈbastjan janiˈkɔfskʲi); born March 2, 1978) is a Polish American football placekicker for the Oakland Raiders of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for Florida State University, and was a two-time consensus All-American. He is nicknamed The Polish Cannon and is considered to have one of the strongest kicking legs in league history.〔 On September 12, 2011 in a ''Monday Night Football'' game against the Denver Broncos, he tied the previous NFL record for the longest field goal at 63 yards, sharing the record with Tom Dempsey, Jason Elam and David Akers. The record stood for just over two years when it was broken by Denver Broncos kicker Matt Prater on December 8, 2013. Janikowski also holds the record for most games played with the Raiders; as of Week 7 of the 2015 season, he has played 242 games with the team.
==Early years==
Sebastian Janikowski was born in 1978 as an only child to Henryk and Halina Janikowski in Wałbrzych, Poland. Sebastian's father was a professional soccer player, and moved to the United States in the early 1980s in the hopes of reviving his career. Years after Sebastian's father emigrated from Poland, his parents divorced and Henryk married an American citizen. Left at home with just his mother, Sebastian began to excel at soccer himself. In 1993, 15-year-old Sebastian earned a spot on the Polish under-17 team.
His father's marriage to an American meant that Sebastian could legally emigrate to the United States. He spoke very little English, but learned quickly by taking a three-week night class and by watching television. Janikowski played in only five games for the Orangewood Christian soccer team, but led them to the Class A State Championship game by scoring 15 goals, where they lost to Lakeland Christian in penalty kicks (3–2). Then living in Orlando, Florida with his father and stepmother, Sebastian joined the Orlando Lions, an under-19 soccer club coached by Angelo Rossi. Rossi was also the soccer coach at Seabreeze High School in Daytona Beach, and he convinced Henryk that his son would be better off there. Henryk agreed but was unwilling to move, so Sebastian moved in with Rossi's family.
During his senior year at Seabreeze, Janikowski played both soccer and football after being recruited by the school's football coach. As the team's placekicker, he quickly earned a reputation by kicking four field goals of 50+ yards. One of them was for 60 yards, third-best in Florida prep school history. During a practice at Seabreeze High, he kicked an 82-yard field goal.〔 ''USA Today'' named Janikowski to its 1996 All-American team. After being heavily recruited by some of the top collegiate football programs, Janikowski decided on Florida State University.〔
