4. Mason Crosby (2007-14)

The Green Bay Packers used a sixth-round pick in the 2007 NFL Draft to take Colorado kicker Mason Crosby and it’s worked out fairly well.

Crosby led the NFL in field-goal attempts as a rookie with 39 and three times has topped the 80 percent accuracy mark, including a 33-for-37 campaign (89.2 percent) in 2013.

He bounced back well from a sub-par season in 2012, when he made just 21-of-33 field goal attempts—the only time he has made less than 75 percent of his kicks.

Crosby also led the NFL in scoring in 2007 with 141 points, a mark he matched in 2013.

For his career, Crosby is 212-for 268 (79.1 percent) and has made all but four of 405 PAT attempts.

His 212 field goals are second in franchise history, as is his 79.1 percent accuracy rate.

His 33 field goals in 2013 tied a franchise single-season record. He also shows up tied for fourth on the single-season list with his 31 field goals in 2007 and has his own three-way tie in eighth with 27 (2008, 2009 and 2014).

His 89.2 percent mark in 2013 is the second-best single-season mark in team history and his 85.7 percent rate in 2011 is tied for sixth.
