Stephen Gostkowski
Stephen Carroll Gostkowski (; born January 28, 1984) is an American football placekicker for the New England Patriots of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft with the 118th pick. One of just two kickers drafted, Gostkowski was the only rookie kicker to make an NFL roster that year.
Gostkowski, who played both college football and baseball for the University of Memphis, is the most accurate kicker in Patriots history, and one of the most accurate kickers in NFL history.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pro Football Reference: Career Field Goal Percentage )〕 He is also a consistent and prolific scorer: He is only the second player in NFL history to score 500 points in his first four seasons in the league, and the first to score 1,000 points in his first eight seasons in the league (despite missing half the 2010 season with a leg injury). Gostkowski also holds the record for highest average points per game scored over a career (8.67 points per game as of the end of the 2014 season), and is the first player since the AFL-NFL merger to lead the league in scoring in three consecutive seasons (2012–2014; he also led the league in scoring in 2008). In 2014, he became the Patriots' all-time leading scorer, surpassing Adam Vinatieri. As of 2015, he is also the Patriots' all-time leader in field goals.
==Early years==
Gostkowski graduated from Madison Central High School in Madison, Mississippi, in 2002. While there, he won four varsity letters each in football and soccer, and three in baseball, and was an All-State honoree in all three sports. Gostkowski holds the school record for longest field goal, a 55-yard kick. His teammates at Madison Central included current Saints linebacker Parys Haralson and Titans center Chris Spencer. His opponents included former Atlanta Falcons running back Jerious Norwood, who returned one of Gostkowski's kickoffs from two yards deep in the end zone; Gostkowski raced him down at the 25-yard line to prevent a touchdown.
His most common nickname growing up was "Beav"; he lost two front teeth playing hockey and had fake teeth that were too large put in as replacements. While at Memphis, he was dubbed "Gotti" by Tigers head coach Tommy West, because West could not pronounce Gostkowski correctly.〔 (Incidentally, the 'k' would not normally be silent in Polish.)〕
