Jason Elam is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished placekickers in NFL history. Born on March 8, 1970, Elam was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the third round of the 1993 NFL Draft. Over the course of his 17-year career, he became a cornerstone of the Broncos' special teams unit, playing 15 seasons with the team before finishing his career with the Atlanta Falcons. Known for his consistency and powerful leg, Elam was a key contributor to the Broncos' success during the late 1990s, helping the team secure two Super Bowl championships.

One of Elam's most notable achievements came in 1998 when he tied the NFL record for the longest field goal, a 63-yard kick, a record that stood for over a decade. This feat placed him in elite company alongside Tom Dempsey, Sebastian Janikowski, and David Akers. Although his record was eventually surpassed by Matt Prater in 2013 and later by Justin Tucker in 2021, Elam's 63-yard field goal remains one of the most iconic moments in NFL history. His ability to perform under pressure made him a reliable asset for the Broncos throughout his career.

In addition to his on-field accomplishments, Elam was selected to the Pro Bowl three times, further solidifying his reputation as one of the best kickers of his era. His accuracy and range were unmatched, and he consistently ranked among the league leaders in field goal percentage. Elam retired with 1,983 career points, placing him among the top scorers in NFL history. His contributions to the Broncos' Super Bowl victories in 1998 and 1999 were instrumental, and he remains a beloved figure in Denver sports history.

Elam's legacy extends beyond his playing days, as he has become a respected figure in the world of sports. His work ethic, professionalism, and ability to perform in high-pressure situations have made him a role model for aspiring kickers. Today, Elam is often sought after as a motivational speaker, sharing his experiences and insights from his illustrious NFL career.
