Dan Carpenter Madden Career 2010-2017 - Peak 89 OVR
The undrafted Griz who split a 60-yarder against Cleveland
Dan Carpenter went undrafted out of Montana in 2008 and won the Dolphins' kicking job as a rookie. His accuracy did the talking: in 2009 he hit 25 of 28 field goals and all 40 extra points and earned a Pro Bowl trip, and by the end of 2010 he ranked among the most accurate kickers in league history. That December he drilled a 60-yarder against Cleveland, among the longest ever made at the time.
He had a flair for the finish, with overtime winners against Green Bay in 2010 and Seattle in 2012. After five seasons in Miami he joined Buffalo in 2013, and his first big moment there was a late game-winner against his old Dolphins team that earned AFC Special Teams Player of the Week. He kicked for the Bills through 2017.
Madden rewarded the consistency in fits and starts. He was a 63 in the 2009 edition, jumped to 82 for 2010 after the Pro Bowl year, hovered in the high 70s and low 80s, then climbed to a career-best 89 in the 2015 game before settling back to 79 for 2016.
