#3 Stephen Gostkowski   Pos: Kicker NFL Team: NWE Injury: OK Experience: 6 College: Memphis Height: 73 Weight: 215 Born: 1/28/1984  Year   Tm   Gm   XPM   XPA   FGM   FGA   17-29   30-39   40-49   50+  PROJ NWE 48 27 32 2010 NWE 8 26 26 10 13 2 6 2 0 2009 NWE 16 47 47 26 31 7 12 5 2 2008 NWE 16 40 40 36 40 10 16 9 1 2007 NWE 16 74 74 21 24 10 8 3 0 SUMMARY Kicker Rank: #3    Overall: #161 Gostkowski injured his quad and missed the second half of last season. He had a few struggles before the injury, making 77 percent of his field-goal attempts. He made 2-of-4 attempts of 40-plus yards. Gostskowski had three double-digit point games, though, playing in the explosive Patriots' offense. He has 125 or more points the previous three seasons. Gostkowski has a strong leg and is a fairly accurate kicker (84 percent made for his career). And the Patriots have a great offense, giving Gostkowski a few more chances than your average kicker. FANTASY OUTLOOK Gostkowski is a safe choice at kicker. He gets a lot of chances and plays in a great offense. The only knock on Gostkowski is won't get you a ton of long-distance kicks (four field goals of 50-plus yards in five seasons). He is a top-five option come draft day, though, because of his consistent point production. 2012-02-01 01:53:12 New England Patriots PK Stephen Gostkowski is hopeful to get his chance at a clutch kick in Super Bowl XLVI against the New York Giants Sunday, Feb. 5.
