Pro Bowl as a Cowboys rookie, 431 career field goals

Nick Folk was born on November 5, 1984, in Los Angeles and kicked at Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks before four years at Arizona. Dallas drafted him in the sixth round of the 2007 draft, 178th overall. He made 26 of 31 field goals as a rookie, among them a 53-yarder at the end of regulation against Buffalo that he had to repeat after a Bills timeout, and he became the first Cowboys rookie kicker named to the Pro Bowl.

Madden NFL 09 listed him at 89 for the 2008 season. He made only 18 of 28 attempts the following year and Dallas waived him in December 2009. He signed with the Jets in February 2010 and stayed seven seasons; Madden NFL 12 dropped him to 71 for the 2011 season, and Madden NFL 15 had him back at 85 for 2014.

After four games in Tampa Bay in 2017 and a year out of the league, Folk kicked four seasons in New England, converting 36 of 39 field goals in 2021 and tying for the league scoring lead. He led the NFL in field goal percentage in 2023, 2024 and 2025, and Madden NFL 25 rated him 80 for the 2024 season. Through the 2025 season he had made 431 field goals and scored 1,826 points.

How to read these: Each row is the player’s rating in that year’s Madden, listed by the NFL season it covers (Madden NFL 2001 = the 2000 season). Madden sets its ratings before the season is played, so they reflect the previous season’s performance - a player’s breakout year tends to show up as a jump in the following year’s game.
Note: Some Madden releases tracked fewer attributes than others. Cells shown as - were not published by EA that year.
