Stephen Carroll Gostkowski (/ɡɒstˈkaʊski/ gost-KOW-skee;[1][a] born January 28, 1984) is an American former professional football player who was a placekicker in the National Football League (NFL) for 15 seasons. A member of the New England Patriots for most of his career, he is the franchise's all-time leading scorer. Gostkowski played college football for the Memphis Tigers and was selected in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL draft by the Patriots, where he spent his first 14 seasons. In his final season, he played for the Tennessee Titans.
Gostkowski led the league in scoring five times during his career, including four consecutive from 2012 to 2015, and is the first post-merger player to lead the league in scoring for more than two consecutive seasons. Gostkowski also holds the NFL record for consecutive extra points.[3] He was named to four Pro Bowls and two first-team All-Pros, and won three Super Bowl titles.
