Jan StenerudJan Stenerud, born November 26, 1942, in Fetsund, Norway, is a former football player for the Kansas City Chiefs of the American Football League and National Football League and the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings. Stenerud was the first professional football player to be used as a dedicated kicker, due to his excellent "sharp shooting" ball kicking performance. He was one of the first placekickers to use the "soccer style", a technique first implemented in the AFL. Stenerud is a member and is the only dedicated kicker to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Chiefs have retired jersey number 3 in his honor. In recent years Stenerud has been involved in a Kansas City firm which is involved in designing stadiums and sports arenas. He has also worked as a commentator for Scandinavian TV channel TV3's Super Bowl sunday coverages in the 1990's, and still maintains strong ties with his native Norway. The street where he grew up, in the town of Fetsund, was renamed in his honor. Links External links Stenerud, Jan Stenerud, Jan Stenerud, Jan Stenerud, Jan Stenerud, Jan
