Bryant has kicked for five different NFL franchises, including the New York Giants. 

He started his NFL career with Big Blue in 2002 and has spent the past nine seasons in Atlanta. The 42-year-old kicker out of Baylor is still going strong, making 87.2 percent of his field goals in 2017. 

Bryant made 8-of-9 field goals from 50-plus yards with the Falcons this past season. Just like Vinatieri, there are some concerns with Bryant transitioning to an outdoor stadium. But that didn’t stop him from making a 57-yard field goal in Tampa Bay or a 53-yard field goal at Carolina.

Bryant has said he plans to play two to three more seasons but hopes to finish his career with the Falcons, via Atlanta’s team website.

"“I know I am capable. I’ve proven it. I am ready to play – I’ll play two-three more years in this league. There’s obviously some curious times ahead to see where those two-three years happen. You know I’d like to finish it here with this organization. I guess I have a history here, so I’d like to finish it up here. But you don’t know.”"
