Abstract In the National Football League, the only position player that currently has a
rating that evaluates his performance during the game and season is the quarterback. But,
why does the kicker not have a rating? This thesis project develops four basic rating
systems and an entire statistical fonnula to evaluate the kicker's performance during the
course of a season. Some of the statistics that will be explored in this project is field goal
percentage from certain distances, point-after-touchdown (PAT) conversions, the number
offield goals made, average distance offield goal makes, misses and attempts. The
statistical formula has six components, but it also has four additional factors that can be
added onto the formula if one so chooses. These four factors are attempting field goals at
home or on the road, on grass or on turf, which quarter was the field goal attempted in
and outdoors or in a dome. Also, each kicker's total is found for this past season (2003).
Acknowledgments I would like to thank my thesis advisor Dr. Dale Umbach for jumpstarting me
with the idea of creating such a statistical rating. I would like to thank my parents, Bob
and Janis, for their ttemendous help throughout this interesting experience and helping
me get through some of the frustrations this project caused me at times. I also would like
to thank Mrs. Jan Wamer and the rest of the staff and students at Hartford City Middle
School, where I student taught, for their help and special motivation for me to keep ontask during this last semester.

A Statistical Rating for NFL Kickers
Currently, a quarterback is the only type of position player in football that has a
rating to judge his performance on the field for that game or an entire season. There are
four components to the quarterback rating or passing efficiency rating: completions per
attempt (completion percentage), yards per attempt, interceptions per attempt, and
touchdowns per attempt. The passing efficiency rating is done in the NCAA while the
quarterback rating is done in the NFL. There are some main differences between the two
ratings. The quantities are scaled differently such as the NFL gives 4.17 points for yards
per attempt, while the NCAA gives 8.4 points for yards per attempt ("NCAA and NFL
passing efficiency rating"). Also, the NFL quarterback ratings are "capped," but the
NCAA does not cap their rating. As a result there is a low end and a high end for each of
the components. The NFL sets a standard from 0.000 (poor) to 2.375 (outstanding) for its
ratings in each of the four components. Each component has a maximum that a passer
can achieve, and if that passer achieves that mark, then he will receive a 2.3 75 for that
component. After each of the four components is figured, they are added together. Next,
the sum is divided by six and multiplied by 100 to get the final rating. The highest rating
a quarterback or any passer of the football can get is 158.3. (NCAA and NFL Passing
Efficiency)
The purpose of understanding the passer ratings is to know somewhat what the
kicker rating will resemble. Many football fans will still question the need for such a
rating. Currently, the only statistics any football kicker has is points scored and an
accuracy percentage. Both present ways to measure a kicker's worth or value to his
team, but there are so many more components that truly evaluate that particular kicker's
performance. In the accompanying Microsoft Excel file on sheets one and two, there are
three more general potential ratings that almost anyone could use and implement for his
own personal use. These three "minor" ratings involve basic statistics found in any
newspaper or in any stat sheet. However, there is another rating that is much more
complex and includes all kinds of factors that could potentially affect any kick during a
game.
Kicker Rating #1 The first of the kicker ratings is very basic and easy to use so that any diehard
football fan could use this rating.

This table is from the attached Excel file NFL Kickers Rating Sheet I.
This rating only takes into account the percentages of the point after touchdowns (PAT's)
and the field goals (FG) as well as the number of made and missed field goals from their
respective distances. To change the numbers and put in any kicker's statistics into the
formula is rather simple to do. Calculate the PAT percentage in this Excel file by hitting
= followed by the number of made PAT's by the number of attempts.
In this example
from statistics found on NFL.com, Baltimore Ravens kicker Matt Stover made 35 out of
2
35 PAT's. Since the percentages are figured as decimals, 100% accuracy for PAT's is
equivalent to a 1 as a decimal. His field goal percentage is found the same way as pointafter-touchdowns in that field goals made is divided by field goals attempted. Stover
made 33 field goals and attempted 38. Thus his 33 made field goals are divided by 38 to
find his field goal percentage which as a decimal is 0.86842105.
Lastly, the number of field goals made or missed is determined by the distance of
the kick. The longest field goal ever made is 63 yards (done only twice) and the longest
field goal in the 2003 season is 58 yards by Josh Brown of Seattle (NFL Stats).
Similarly, the shortest field goal anyone can make or attempt is only 18 yards. This
occurs because the farthest a team can advance the ball without scoring a touchdown is to
the opponents' I-yard line. If that team does not score a touchdown and they opt to kick
a field goal, then the ball is placed at the I-yard line. However, the kick will be moved
seven yards farther back (to the 8-yard line) so that the kicker has a better chance of
making it without the kick being blocked. Also, the kick has to go through the uprights
of the goal posts, which are located at the back of the end zone, which is 10 yards long.
The field goal attempt will be the one yard to go plus the seven yards to move the kick
back plus the final ten yards for the length of the end zone to make the kick the resulting
18 yards. There are eight categories for kicking distance: 18-29 yards made and 18-29
yards missed; 30-39 yards made and 30-39 yards missed; 40-49 yards made and 40-49
yards missed and 50 yards and beyond made and 50 yards and beyond missed.
The other item in the table that is extremely important to compute this kicker
rating is to know the multipliers. Point-after-touchdowns are really 20-yard field goals
that are only worth one point on the scoreboard for the team. Field goals count for more
3
points on the scoreboard, but only in three possible situations can a field goal be less or
equal to the yardage of a PAT. Thus, in this rating the percentage of PAT's is the only
time a P AT is figured into the formula and most times this percentage is 100% or 1 in
decimal form. The kicker has essentially a minimum of 50 points by kicking and making
just one point-after-touchdown and one field goal in this rating. However, the more field
goals the kicker attempts and makes the more points the kicker receives. The percentages
of both field goals and point-after-touchdowns are figured with a multiplier of25 points
each because there should be a minimum value for making at least one of each type of
kick without any misses. Also, the total value, which will be 50 points in the rating, is a
significant amount of the total rating for all kickers. But, an outstanding kicker for the
2003 season typically has a rating between 150 and 190. The kicker's total rating wasn't
solely based off of his percentage but also consisted of how many kicks he made and
missed and the distance of each.
For each category of distances, there are also multipliers. At the professional
level the hash marks, which are the boundaries of where the football can be possessed at
or kicked from, are equal to where the goalposts are aligned. Therefore, a kicker should
have little problem kicking a shorter distance field goal. There are many factors in this
particular rating that could change the idea that a pro kicker should be able to make
shorter distance field goals. Such an event could be a blocked kick, weather, or possible
unlucky things like getting a cleat caught in the turf, which has happened before.
Therefore, the multipliers for each level of distance for a field goal made increases. An
18-29 yard field goal made will count for two points towards the overall kicker's rating.
According to the stats included on nfl.com and the Excel spreadsheet (worksheet 3) NFL
4
KICKER RATINGS FOR PROJECT.xls, many kickers make a majority of their kicks in
this range and in the 30-39 yard range.
After the 18-29 yard range, the value of the multiplier increases by two to four
rating points because theoretically it should be slightly more difficult to make a kick from
30-39 yards than from 18-29 yards. Likewise, the value of a 40-49 yard successful field
goal is worth more than a 30-39 yard field goal and this rating value is worth six points
per successful field goal. Lastly, for any kick 50 yards and longer the rating value is
worth eight points per successful field goal. This particular rating system rewards the
amount of successful field goals that a kicker makes in an entire season. A weekly form
of this rating system is certainly possible but not the true intent of the kicker rating. This
rating system will require a kicker to make 4 short distance field goals to equal a kick of
over 50 yards. A 50 yard field goal, with all factors not even being considered here, is
certainly much more difficult to make than "a chip shot" or a field goal under 30 yards.
Then there are the other four categories based on distance and unsuccessful field
goals a kicker has during the course of a season. The field goal distances and the way
they are incremented for unsuccessful field goals are the same as for the successful field
goals: 18-29, 30-39, 40-49, and 50+. The amount of points that will be lost in the rating
is found by taking the multipliers or the point values assessed to each distance increment
of successful field goals is putting in reverse order and dividing by two. That is, each
point value increased by two for successful field goals, two points for 18-29 yards, four
points for 30-39 yards, six points for 40-49 yards, and eight points for 50+ yards. The
point values for unsuccessful field goals are in reversed order, so that it goes from eight
to six to four and then to two for the increased yardage as in the above sentence. These
5
values are divided by two since successful field goals in this rating system are more
valuable than an unsuccessful field goal because a successful field goal is a made kick.
Although, an unsuccessful field goal attempt may not entirely be the kicker's fault, any
kicking statistic will tell not take that into account. As a result, these values are now
worth a minus four points per unsuccessful field goat attempt at 18-29 yards, three points
for 30-39 yards, two points for 40-49 yards and one point for 50+ yards. Therefore, an
unsuccessful field goal at a shorter distance pays much more of a penalty than does a
longer distance attempt. Similarly, a longer successful field goal attempt is usually more
of an achievement than making a field goal of shorter distance. An efficient kicker at any
level, including a professional in the NFL, should be able to make all or most attempts at
a shorter distance and be able to make a respectable percentage of their kicks at a longer
distance. Attempts from 40 yards or longer in this rating system are worth more than an
attempt from 40 yards and shorter. Also, a missed attempt from over 40 yards should not
punish the kicker as much as missing a kick from under 40 yards.
To find the overall rating of a kicker for kicker rating number one is to add up the
total amount of points found from the first column and multiply it by the column of
certain multipliers. The PAT percentage points are added to the overall field goal
percentage's amount of points. That is added to the amount of points found from the four
categories of successful field goals at 18-29 yards, 30-39 yards, 40-49 yards, and 50+
yards. Because some kickers do not have any missed field goal attempts, which can be
found on sheets 3 and 4 of the Excel spreadsheet, then those points from the four missed
field goal categories are subtracted from the total amount of points. A field goal kicker's
rating can fall in a wide range from a negative number to somewhere around 200. No
6
one in the 2003 NFL season reached the 200-point plateau. However, Jeff Wilkins of St.
Louis and Mike Vandetjagt of Indianapolis came very close with point values of
196.2143 and 192, respectively. Although, Vandetjagt had a perfect season with no
unsuccessful kicks, Wilkins made more kicks and his misses were very few. If a kicker
makes every kick or nearly every kick during the year and makes enough field goals at a
variety of distances, it is certainly possible that a kicker could reach 200 points in this
particular kicker rating.
Kicker Rating #2 There are two other kicker ratings that were developed that are very similar to the
first kicker rating. The first rating on sheet 2 highlighted in bold red has many of the
same components as the first kicker rating, but is mainly computed with the percentages
of successful field goals as compared to the number of attempts.

Table I
This rating has just five different components, but every component is based on the
percentages of successful kicks to the number of attempts. Since this whole rating
system is percents and the maximum percent any kicker can achieve at any of the five
categories is 100% or again as a decimal 1. The percents are found by simply taking the
number of successful kicks, whether it is PAT's or field goals, and dividing them by the
7
number of attempts, either PAT's or field goal attempts. The percentages of kicks are
then multiplied by a specific number. This rating is based on the efficiency of the kicker
at a specific distance level. The downside to this formula it that if a kicker does not
attempt a kick from a specific distance of field goal or at a PAT, then his overall rating
suffers. If a kicker performs successfully at every level, whether he only makes one kick
at each or 30 kicks at each level, he will achieve the perfect score of 100.
As for the multipliers, the point-after-touchdown is not worth as much in terms of
points or in value of this particular rating. The PAT percentage is worth 20 points or
20% of the total points of the kicker rating. The field goal portion is worth the remaining
80 points or 80% of the final rating. There are four different levels in which the field
goals percentages are found. Each level has a distance that the field goal can possibly be
in. Like in kicker rating number 1, the distances range from 18-29 yards, 30-39 yards,
40-49 yards and 50+ yards. Every level has a certain multiplier attached to it so that in
the end all four levels equal up to 80, but the levels are not balanced. For example, the
18-29 yard level has an attached multiplier of29, the percentage of made field goals for
each kicker from 18-29 yards is then multiplied by 29. From 30-39 yards the multiplier
is 23; from 40-49 yards the multiplier is 17 and from 50+ yards the multiplier is only 11.
The resulting sum of 29 + 23 + 17 + 11 does in fact equal the remaining 80 points left in
this kicker rating (#2). The multipliers have been chosen like this to resemble more of an
efficiency rating. An efficient and good kicker should do very well at the 18-29 yard
range, which is why this multiplier is more and the short kicks are worth more points to
the total value. A field goal kicker should not be penalized because he cannot kick a long
8
field goal as well as a short distance kick and that is why the multipliers are incremented
and more points are favored towards the short distances.
For each yardage level, 18-29 yards on up to the 50+ yard range, the increment of
the multiplier is decreased by six from 29 to 23 to 17 to 11 for the 50+ yard range. Once
each percentage of converted kicks is found and multiplied by the respective multiplier,
then each resulting point value is to achieve a final point value out of a possible 100
points. A kicker's rating can range from as low as a 0 to as high as a 100, which is very
similar to a typical grading scale. Just like school, the kicker can eams a grade on his
performance on the football field. The Colts' kicker VandeIjagt was the only kicker in
the NFL this past season to achieve the perfect 100 point score since he made at least one
kick in each of the five rows of this rating system and did not miss a kick at all. Well, at
least those that count. This rating system does have one potential flaw that could cost a
kicker. If he did not make a 50-yard-plus field goal, then he is automatically down to 89
points even if he made every other kick during the season. Much like the passer rating
for quarterbacks, the kicker can make one little mistake and the perfect score is gone for
good. This rating does have its advantages and disadvantages to the previous kicker
rating and the two other "minor" ratings to follow.

RATING
Table 2
This rating makes the percentages impact the overall rating more than they did in the first
kicker rating. Field goal percentage has been split into short-distance field goals and
long-distance field goals. In this rating, 18-39 yard field goals are grouped to figure short
distance percentage and 40 yard field goals and longer are grouped to figure the long
distance percentage. The total multipliers for the percentage rows now equal 60 points
instead of 50 points. The point-after-touchdowns percentage is now worth even less,
putting a greater emphasis on being accurate and efficient with field goals. The shorter
distanced field goals are worth slightly more points, in terms of the multiplier, than the
longer distanced field goals because this rating is still judging efficiency albeit at a lesser
extent than kicker rating number two.
In the first kicker rating, the multipliers for successful field goal attempts were
two, four, six and eight points for 18-29 yards, 30-39 yards, 40-49 yards and 50 + yards,
respectively. In this rating, the number of successful kicks is still important, but as a
10
whole rating the number of attempted kicks and the percentages of successful kicks are
much more equal than before. The multipliers are halved for successful field goals, as
well as unsuccessful field goals. As a result, the multipliers for successful field goals is
now worth one, two, three, and four points times the number of successful field goals.
Likewise, the multipliers for unsuccessful field goals have been halved and are now
worth two for a miss from 18-29 yards, 1.5 from 30-39 yards, one from 40-49 yards, and
Y:z from 50 yards and further. To find the overall rating, one uses the totals of the
percentages multiplied by their respective multipliers and then adds them to the totals
from the number of points found from each level of distance for successful field goals.
As the final step, one subtracts the points found from each level of distance for all (if any)
unsuccessful field goals to get the overall rating for any kicker.
As from above in kicker rating number one, compare the two "prolific" kickers of
the 2003 season in the perfect kicker Mike Vanderjagt and the most converted kicks, Jeff
Wilkins. In rating number one, Wilkins had a better rating because many more rating
points were available to kickers that made many field goals during the season. Kicker
rating number 3 has a balance of percentages, which Vanderjagt did better in, and number
of successful attempts, which Wilkins did better. When these two kickers are evaluated
as seen in sheet 2 page 2, Vanderjagt and Wilkins again were the best two kickers
according to this rating (rating number three). However, this time Vanderjagt was the
best, although extremely slightly. Vanderjagt had a rating of 131, significantly lower
than rating number one, while Wilkins had a 130.7374 rating. The difference is only
.2626 of a point in the ratings for the best kicker. In all of these ratings, these two kickers
have been the best of the 2003 NFL season.

Table 4
Table three shows kicker rating number four with an example to show the overall totaL
The PAT will count for about 20% of the total rating with 20 points based on the
percentage of successes divided by the number of attempts and 10 points will be awarded
for PAT's made. The point after touchdown counts for a decent amount of the total
12
rating without being too significant. In this rating, not only does the amount of PAT's
matter, but so does the overall percentage.
The remainder of the rating covers field goals made, missed and also the
percentage. Field goals are separated into shorter and longer kicks. The yardage that
separates the shorter kicks from the longer ones is 40 yards. Consider that the longest
kick of all-time is 63 yards and the shortest that you can have is 18 yards. The average of
the two kicks is 40.5 yards, which makes 40 yards a neutral spot to separate the kicks by
distance.
The big difference to compute this kicker rating is noting if the minimum and
maximum values need to be implemented within the rating. Plus, we need to include the
multipliers as well. For PAT's made, the multiplier is 0.25 or take the number of made
PAT's and divide by four. This protects the rating system to keep a kicker like Morton
Andersen of Kansas City from racking up points since he kicked 59 PAT's this past
season (NFL Stats- Field Goal Kickers). Also, for this particular row there are capped
values. There is a maximum of 40 PAT's converted for each individual kicker. In the
2003 season there were eight different kickers that had at least 40 made PAT's! There is
also a minimum value that is 1110 of the maximum value or four. Therefore, since the
multiplier is 0.25 and the maximum value is 40, the most possible points a kicker can
achieve is 10 for his overall rating. In the Excel file, there are column called cap 1 and
cap 2. If the number of successful PAT's is less than 4 or greater than 40, then when put
into cap 1 the result will be either 4 or 40. If the number of PAT's is between 4 and 40,
then cap 1 will say false, which then goes to cap 2, which will give the number of kicks
from the previous column. There are two logical IF statements used so that the maximum
13
and minimum values would work and have accompanied values if the statements were
either true or false.
The next category is made up of PAT percentage of made kicks divided by the
number of attempts. The percentage has a multiplier of 20 because a kicker is on a poor
team; he is probably not going to be able to kick 40 PAT's in an entire season. This way
the balance of a kicker on good team or a bad team is not as severe of a penalty to the
kicker. The next factor is finding the amount of successful field goals from over 40 yards
and under 40 yards. Similar to finding the PAT's made, there is a need for a maximum
and minimum value and specific multipliers. For the multipliers, field goals made from
over 40 yards are worth two times a field goal made from under 40 yards. The multiplier
is three points per field goal made over 40 yards and 1.5 points per field goal made from
under 40 yards. There is a maximum number for field goals made over 40 yards, which
is 10. Six NFL kickers are affected by this maximum number. There is also a minimum
of I field goal that will be given to each kicker, even if they did not make a field goal
over 40 yards. When multiplied by the allotted value of 3, the minimum value will be
three.
Next, we have field goals made from under 40 yards. As stated earlier, the
multiplier is 1.5 points per kick made. The maximum number of successful kicks made
in this category is 20 made field goals. This was chosen because of the addition to the
amount of kicks from over 40 yards, which was 10 kicks. This gives a total of 30 field
goals. The 30 field goals found for the total maximum value is more than all but four
kickers in the entire league for this season. There is also a minimum that again is 1110 of
the maximum number, which in this case will be two made field goals. In the Excel
14
chart, there are two caps that are constructed oflogical IF statements. These statements
will put any number into one of three possible answers, either the maximum value, the
minimum value, or in between which is that number itself.
The next two categories consist of the field goals missed by a kicker from over 40
yards and under 40 yards. The multipliers of the unsuccessful field goals are worth less
than the multipliers of the successful field goals. An unsuccessful field goal should not
make the kicker accountable for all of the made field goals during the course of the
season. A missed field goal from under 40 yards is worth 2.5 points per miss against the
kicker's total and a miss from over 40 yards is worth 1.25 points per miss against the
kicker's total. A make is worth three and 1.5 points per kick for less than 40 yards and
over 40 yards, respectively. A miss is reversed and half of a point is subtracted from the
original three points.
The last two sections are using some of the same information in the previous
ratings with field goals makes and misses. This time the percentages for kicks over and
less than 40 yards are used with specific multipliers. The idea is that a more efficient
kicker is determined by the shorter distance of a field goal. In this rating that means from
18-39 yards the kick should be worth more to the kicker's overall rating. The multipliers
are worth 25 points for the longer distance kicks and 35 points for the shorter distance
kicks. Then the percentage of the field goals is multiplied by 25 or by 35. The total
worth of the percentages if the kicker is perfect for the season is 60 points of the total. As
seen by table four, the total rating can be at most 150 points and at minimum seven
points. Since PAT's figure 30 points, the percentages and made field goals take up the
remaining 120 points. Or, knowing that the percentages value is 60, the field goal
15
percentages and the number of successful field goal are equal in the totality of the overall
kicker rating. A side note is that all of the above was assumed there were no missed
kicks. If there were missed kicks, we have to subtract their value from the 150 point total
as well as subtract the difference when figuring the two different field goal percentages.
In this rating, since they are capped values, some kickers lose some of their points
they would gain in some of the ratings done previously. Others might gain a few points
when they normally would not. This rating appears to be the most balanced of the
ratings. It was meant to be equal in terms of weighing the percentages of short kicks,
long kicks, and point-after-touchdowns and the number of made kicks. The kickers seem
to separate at the top as a perfect kicker will have a perfect score, but any other kicker
that misses just one kick will drop their overall rating by a couple of points very quickly.
This might be a slight flaw in the overall rating, but the kicker should make all of his
kicks. The comparisons for the ratings are for professional kickers in the NFL, although
college and even high school kickers could be included with some minor tweaking for
distance, of course.
THE MAIN FORMULAThe previous four ratings thus far have covered basic kicker statistics such as field
goal attempts and percents as well as point-after-touchdown attempts and percents. In
this formula these statistics are used but there are many more factors that will go into it.
The yardage of a field goal is now much more specific instead of in a generalized
16
distance increment. As a result, a 35 yard field goal is now defined as a 35 yard field
goal and not labeled into the range of 30-39 yards unlike previous kicker ratings. The
average yardage of each kicker's field goal attempts, misses and makes can either help or
hurt the kicker in this formula. A relative average based on statistics from the 2003
season is set up to give an estimate of what distance each kicker should be able to make.
Another key factor in the basic formula is extra consideration given to a kicker to
make at least a 40 yard field goal as well as the added distance beyond a 40 yard kick.
However, a kicker will suffer a penalty if he misses a kick within 40 yards and his
formula total will take a bigger hit if the kick is from extremely short distance, such as a
kick from 25 yards. In this formula, the longer the distance of a field goal, the more
points that kick is worth towards the final total. For example, a 55 yard field goal is
worth more than a 45 yard field goal. The two kicks count the same for both being over
40 yards, but the difference is because of the actual distance. Those ten extra yards are
computed into one specific piece of the overall formula.
After computing the basic components of the formula, there are also four different
add-ons to the formula. The basic formula itself has six different sections that are
calculated. These extra sections are for a more detailed formula with factors that could
potentially sway the outcome of the kick. One of the factors is if the kick is made on the
kicker's home field or on the road. Another is the kick being on an artificial surface or
on natural grass. Another factor is determining if a kick was easier outdoors or indoors.
The last factor judges the kicker's worth in each quarter with an emphasis on making
field goals in pressure situations, such as at the end of the fourth quarter and in overtime.
The add-on factors to the formula are meant to judge the kicker's value. The problem
17
with these factors can be a little subjective towards certain kickers in certain situations.
For example, when a kicker has to kick longer field goals outdoors the weather can be a
potential problem. The basic formula does not skew the overall total. The other factors
can, depending on the conditions in which each of the kicker's field goal attempts are
played during the season.
On the Excel worksheet, specifically sheet three; all of the statistics plus the addons are used in each part of the formula. The statistics, which came from nfl.com and its
game summary section, are labeled in terms of everything needed for the formula.
Shown below is Table 5, which is a section, found on the Excel spreadsheet displaying all
of the statistics used.

In table five, features 14 NFL kickers that attempted at least one field goal during
the 2003 season. Each kicker's last name is mentioned in the first column and the team
that he plays for is abbreviated in the second column. The other three columns listed to
the right describe the field goals they attempted during the '03 regular season. Table 6

Table 6
To further describe table five are some specific examples. Let's take Jay Feely of
Atlanta and his first field goal attempt. The cell reads 37ROTl, which denotes the field
goal was 37 yards; was kicked on the road, outdoors on turf and kicked during the first
quarter. Another example is in the third row, which is represented by Tim Duncan of
Arizona. His first cell reads 46HOG (2). From reading table six, which describes some
of the labels, we can determine exactly what 46HOG (2) signifies. The field goal was 46
yards; the kick occurred at home, outdoors and on grass. The two in parentheses
represents the second quarter and the kick happened in the last two minutes of the half.
As a side note, the parentheses will only occur in the second or fourth quarter. One last
example to better illustrate what all of the symbols mean is to take Wade Richie of
Baltimore. His first field goal attempt reads 56MHOG (2). For the formula, this means
that the field goal was at a distance at 56 yards, at home, outdoors and on grass and
occurs in the last two minutes of the second quarter. The M stands for a missed field
goal. Thus, Richie's attempt of 56 yards was unsuccessful, Other important items from
this information is any weather stats, such as cold, rain, snow and wind are listed in the
statistics, but not listed in any of the factors in the formula. These factors are hard to
figure into the formula because weather conditions may be listed in the game day weather
conditions, but may change during the course of the game. This would potentially sway
the value of any kick made during a game. One game, as a possible example, might have
19
wind that significantly picks up later in the game, but will not be mentioned in the stats as
being played in windy conditions.
Statistics for the formula-
The next part of the formula is on sheet four of the spreadsheet, which entails how
the specific statistics go into the formula. In the spreadsheet, there are the following
columns, which will be explained.

Table 7
Column A in table seven is the name of the kicker followed by the name of the team he
plays for. Column B for total yards attempted, which is self-explanatory. Every field
goal that a kicker attempts, the distance is added together for a total sum. Columns C and
D are very similar to one another. In these two columns, the total yardage of all of the
successfully made field goals is added together for one sum. In the spreadsheet, the total
yardage for the missed field goals is found by subtracting column C from column B. In
other words, column D is the total yardage for attempted field goals minus the total
yardage for successful field goals. Columns E, F, and G are the averages of columns B,
C and D divided by the number offield goals made, missed and attempted. Column E is
the average distance per field goal made, column F is the average distance per field goal
missed and column G is the average distance per field goal attempted.
To fmd the
number of field goals made, missed and attempted for the average distance, table eight
shows these statistics.
20
To aid in finding the statistics from table seven, the set of columns from sheet
four of the entire spreadsheet is needed. Column H and I are needed to find the average
distance of field goals made, missed and attempted. To find column H, simply insert the
number of field goals that each kicker converted successfully. Likewise, in column I
insert the number of field goals that each kicker attempted. The next column is also selfexplanatory. To find the percentage offield goals made for column J, divide the number
in column H by the number found in column I. This will give the overall percentage of
successful field goals and will show a decimal from 0 to 1 to represent 0% to 100%. For
columns K, L and M, the statistics for PAT's are needed, which was found once again on
the NFL's website, nfl.com. The same format follows for these three columns as it did
for columns H, I and J for finding field goals. In column K, insert the number of PAT's
that each kicker converted successfully. Next, in column L insert the number of PAT's
that each kicker attempted. For column M, to find the percentage of PAT's, divide the
number found in column K by the number found in column L.
Next, we have table nine, which details more of the columns in sheet four to
illustrate what components will be in the formula.

Table 9
This set of columns is more diverse than any of the previous columns for this formula.
Column N is for the field goals that are successful beyond 40 yards. A professional
kicker should make all or almost all of his kicks short of 40 yards. It is at about 40 yards
where some kickers' accuracy starts to decline, so this distance is designated as the spot
where any kick longer than 40 yards is given a bonus. Column N is the number of field
21
goals made beyond 40 yards and is added up for a total. On the contrary, column 0 takes
those field goals that were totaled up in column N and finds the total distance of each
field goal beyond 40 yards. For example, a 50 yard field goal counts for 10 yards in
column 0 since what is needed is the distance beyond the 40 yard range. In the
spreadsheet, iflooking at the stats of Atlanta's Jay Feely, it shows that he made four field
goals longer than 40 yards. The total distance of those four field goals went 182 yards.
To find column 0, we need the distance of each field goal beyond 40 yards. One way to
find that distance is to take the number of field goals, which is 4, and multiply it by 40
since that is the yardage limit. Next, subtract the number from the total distance, which
was 182. Finally, after the calculations the total distance becomes 22, since that is equal
to 182 minus 160, which are the calculations needed to solve.
Now, move on to finding columns P and Q. These two columns are found in a
similar method as the previous two columns, N and O. Column P is the number of field
goals that the kicker has missed from less than 40 yards. Most kickers typically have a
high percentage of conversion from less than 40 yards based on the statistics found on the
spreadsheet. After finding P, column Q is found like column 0 except the total distance
is needed for kicks less than 40 yards. Again, using Jay Feely's statistics on the
spreadsheet he did not convert two field goals that were less than 40 yards. From
observing sheet 3, the two field goals he missed were from 36 and 34 yards. Therefore,
the total distance is 70 yards. To find the total distance of his missed attempts less than
40 yards, take the number of field goals misses, which is 2, and multiply by 40. This
gives a total of 80. The total distance less than 40 yards for column Q is taking 80 and
22
subtracting Feely's field goal distance for his misses, which was 70. The answer to 80
minus 70 is, of course, 10. So, Feely's total distance for column Q is 10 or 10 yards.
By simply going through all of the field goal attempts listed on sheet three, the
next four columns can also be determined. Column R is the number of field goals that
each kicker made at their home stadium. On sheet three of the Excel workbook, all of the
field goals attempts by every kicker can be found at home. In table six, the key to finding
where the field goals were kicked is the symbol H, which stands for a home kick.
Column R is the total number of kicks made, while column S is for the percentage of
converted field goals that each kicker had at home. Every field goal attempt, make or
miss, needs to be accounted for. Then, take the number found in column R and divide by
the total number of field goals attempts that occur at home for every kicker. This will
give the percentage for field goals made at the kicker's home stadium. Similarly, the
same method applies to columns T and U as did columns R and S. The lone difference is
instead of finding each field goal made and attempted at home, now each field goal made
and attempted on the road needs to be found. To find the road field goals on the statistic
sheet, look for the symbol R, which means the kick was on the road.

Table 10
Table lOis the last of the components that will help determine the formula for
kickers, but most of these columns represent the add-ons to the formula. In columns V,
w, X, Y and Z the percentages are what is important.
Later, when explaining the
23
specifics of calculating the quarters into the formula more detail will be given. For each
column, take the number of converted field goals and divide by the number of attempts to
get the percentage of converted field goals in each quarter. In table 6, the symbols for
finding when each field goal was attempted are simply I for the first quarter, 2 for the
second quarter, 3 for the third quarter and 4 for the fourth quarter. Also, if 2 is in
parentheses, it will always count only in the column for the second quarter. However, if
the 4 is in parentheses, this will count not only in the column for the fourth quarter but
also in column Z for the "pressure kicks". These "pressure" kicks are for any field goal
that is made in the last two minutes of the game or in overtime, whose symbol is 5,
th
meaning the "5 quarter." One of the other factors is columns AB and AC, which tells if
the kick was on grass or on an artificial surface. These two columns are found in the
same ways the columns for the quarters were found in that all is needed is the percentages
of the converted field goals, either on grass or on turf. Table six gives the symbols of
grass as G and turf as T for finding the number of successes and the number of attempts
made on each surface. Lastly, columns AD and AE illustrate iftbe kick was made
outdoors or indoors. These two columns also are computed by finding the percentages of
the successful field goals. The symbol for looking up a kick made outdoors is given by 0
and the symbol for an indoor kick is given by I.
The Actual FormulaThe actual formula, located on sheet five of the Excel workbook, is based on all
of the statistics that have been computed for every kicker with at least one field goal
attempt in the 2003 regular season.

Table I I
These are all of the categories used for the computation of the final total for the NFL
kicker formula. The six columns in the total rating are E, H, I, K, L and M. The other
columns are statistics that shape the above six columns. This does not include any of the
add-on factors that can be attached to the basic formula.
The first two columns of table II will result in finding column E, which is
essential for the main formula. Column C is field goal percentage, which has already
been computed on the previous sheet. Column D is also on the previous Excel
worksheet. Thus, simply copy both from sheet four and put the numbers needed into
columns C and D. To find column E, we take the field goal percentage found in C and
multiply that by the number of successful field goals found in D. Next, multiply that total
by two for the fmal result. The statistics show for the 2003 season these totals can range
from a whopping 0 points to as much as 74 points for the final result. The statistics done
for the '03 season show that this category is by far and away worth the most points to the
kicker's total.
The next component of the formula is over PAT's. Comparable to the method
done for the previous columns, take the number of PAT's that were successful and
multiply by the percentage of the successful PAT's. Multiply that product by 0.5 or
divide by two. For simplicity, column F is the number of successful PAT's and column
G is the PAT percentage. Both numbers for each column can be found again on sheet
25
four and copied over. Different from the field goals is the extra multiplier is now 0.5 or
Y, of the product of columns F and G. The difference in the multipliers is the emphasis is
on the field goals and not so much on the PAT's. The product of field goal percentage
and number of successful kicks will still differ on how much they are worth since many
of the kicker have made many more PAT's than they did field goals.
In fact, Morton Andersen from Kansas City has more points in the PAT category
than he does in the field goal category in this formula. He made 59 PAT's out of 60, so
his percentage was high and then multiplied by 59. This was then halved to get an
approximate value of 29 points for the final total. But, Andersen only made 16 field
goals during the entire 2003 season out of 20 possible attempts. Even multiplying back
by the number of kicks made and then doubling, Andersen's point value for field goals
still only came out to 25.6 points for the final total. Thus, even with weights factored into
make field goals worth more, there can still be an exception to the rule if a kicker makes
many more PAT's than field goals. However, he must be fairly successful at converting
field goals or his overall points in the formula will suffer in the next few pieces of the
formula.
The next component of the formula figures in is the average distance of each
successful field goal converted by each kicker. Again, in the previous sheet (number
four) the average distance per field goal made has been found and computed in column E
of sheet four or above in column E in table seven. For the formula, take that average
distance found and subtract from 35 to get the result. If that number is positive, then the
kicker's average made field goal was less than 35 yards and will cost the kicker points in
the final total. However, if that number is negative, then the kicker will receive that
26
number of points towards his final total. The number 35 was chosen because the average
distance for every kicker was about 35 yards. Thus, this component of the formula is
really the average of all of the kickers successful field goals minus the individual kicker's
average field goal made. A longer average for each kicker helps their overall total, while
a shorter averaged field goal hurts their overall total.
Component number four of the formula is really the opposite of component
number three. This time the average distance for missed field goals is found and not the
made field goals. For the computations in the formula, fmd the average distance of the
missed field goals located in sheet four and then subtract from 43. If this number is
positive, the number will be subtracted from the kicker's fmal total. If column J is
positive that number will carry over to column K. This is where the number is subtracted
in the final totals. If the kicker did not a miss a kick all season, then this column will
automatically will result in a 0 and have no effect on the total. But, after subtracting 43
minus the average missed field goal distance for column J and it is negative, then the
formula slightly changes. If column J is in fact a negative number, column K will
become 0 when figuring in the formula. The reasoning is that if a kicker's average miss
is from 47 yards and the average for everyone else is 43. When 47 is taken from 43, the
result is - 4. In the final totals of the formula, column K is subtracted. When subtracting
a negative number, what happens is 4 points will be added onto the final totals. No
kicker will be rewarded in this formula with "bonus" points because he missed from a
long range. There is no penalty if the average kick is over 43 yards, but there is no
incentive either.

Table I I (b)
In table 11 (b), the fifth component of the fonnula is given by column L. This
column gives a result of the number of field goals a kicker has made longer than 40 yards
and subtract any field goals missed from less than 40 yards. Going back to sheet four,
again, these computations have been worked out. For column L, the number of
unsuccessful field goals the kicker missed, if any, will be subtracted from the number of
successful field goals the kicker did make.
From the statistics given, this number for the
kickers ranged anywhere from a-I to a positive 13. The negative one means that those
particular kickers, which there were two, missed more field goals less than 40 yards than
they made from more than 40 yards.
The last component of the basic fonnula for the NFL kicker, column M, is take
the extra distance beyond 40 yards and subtract the extra distance less than 40 yards.
Next, divide that difference by 10 to get the result. Finding the extra distance offield
goals more and less than 40 yards was completed in the statistics sheet. After subtracting
the two extra distances to get a number, now divide that result by 10. On the spreadsheet,
that is written as (extra distance beyond 40 yards - extra distance less than 40 yards)/ 10.
The number 10 was detennined as the dividing number so that the result of the column
would be similar to other components, with the exception of component one (column E)
and component two (column H) which have much greater value. For instance, Jeff
Wilkins of St. Louis has an extra distance in the column of 90 yards. Based on the
components of the fonnula, adding 90 to the fonnula would greatly skew the results.
But, when that distance is divided by 10, the number becomes obviously nine. Nine
28
points, when compared to the rest of the formula is an acceptable result to the overall
formula.
Now, the basic formula has all of its components ready to make the final total. To
find this total, add columns E, H, L and M to get one total sum. Then, if necessary
subtract columns I and K from that sum to get a final, overall total for the formula. In
this formula, the totals for every kicker have been calculated. Some of the noticeable
items in this formula are that Jeff Wilkins and Mike VandeIjagt had outstanding 2003
seasons and ran away from the other kickers in this formula. Wilkins had a better total by
four tenths of a point mainly because his average distance of field goals were longer and
he made more kicks that were more than 40 yards, including four SO+ yards. Nearly
every kicker that had a limited season, either due to injury or being cut, was in the bottom
ten of this formula. Jeff Feagles of the New York Giants had one attempt all year and
missed from "a chip shot distance" of 29 yards and paid dearly because of that miss. His
total of - S I points was by far the worst of any kicker. Congratulations to Jeff and Jeff
for finishing as the best and worst NFL kickers in the first season of the NFL kicker
statistical rating!
The Add-On Factors Now that the basic formula is completed for every kicker, the additional factors of
home and away field goals, on grass versus artificial surface, in a dome or outside and in
which quarter was each kicker better can be calculated. Each of these additional factors
is not a part of the main formula because of the possible bias that may be in each of these
factors. The components in the formula are fairly straightforward, while these can
29
change depending on the kicker. A kicker's total should not be completely affected by
these factors unless someone would want to include them into the formula.
Nevertheless, the first add-on factor is to find the points that could be added on or
subtracted from the main formula. This factor covers all of the field goals made at home
and on the road by each kicker. In the workbook sheet number four; there are four
columns that will determine this section that could be added to the main formula. These
four columns are also in table 9 in columns R, S, T and U and are made field goals at
home and on the road, as well as the percentage of successful field goals made at home
and on the road. Thus, there are only four parts to [md this particular add-on to the
formula.

Table 12 (b)
Table 12 is a general idea of what is in sheet nine of the Excel workbook. Every kicker
will have a total based off of his kicks made and attempted at home and on the road that
can be added onto the existing formula. Table 12 (b) has the top four rated kickers based
off of the equation of home and road field goals. The four columns in table 12 (b) are
what the equation at the top of table 12a is based. There are two parts to the equation; a
30
home section and a road section to make up an entire total. Needed in the first part of the
equation are the number of field goals made at home and also the percentage of home
field goals. The remaining part is finding an average percent for all kickers. The average
percentage for every kicker in the NFL in the 2003 season at home and on the road was
roughly 79% each. The equation has the average at 80%. The equation of field goals
attempted at home is given as the number of converted field goals at home multiplied by
the quantity of the kicker's percentage, which is written as a decimal minus 0.8. A
reminder that 0.8 is also known as 80%. The road part of the equation is done the same
way. This is given as the number of converted field goals on the road multiplied by the
quantity of the kicker's percentage minus 0.8. Once the home and road sections are
calculated, both are added together to make a final result. In this equation, Mike
VandeIjagt is a full two points ahead of his nearest competitor. But, there are several
kickers that will lose points in the final total of the main formula if this equation is added
on to the formula.
The second of the add-ons is find the field goals made on natural grass or on an
artificial surface, such as Astroturf or on field turf. These statistics are found on sheet
four of the workbook. All of the statistics used specifically in this second equation are on
sheet six. There you will find the percentages of converted field goals made on grass and
turf. The percentage is higher for field goals made on artificial surfaces than on grass,
but the number of attempts on grass is over double of what the number of attempts on
turf. Later on sheet six, there are statistics that will make up the grass/turf equation.
First, find which surface that each kick is played.

Table 13
For this add-on equation, grass and turf is now influenced by home and away
statistics as well. Table 13 contains all of the pertinent statistics for fmding the final
result of the grass/turf equation. There are four different categories in which the field
goals are separated into. These are field goals attempted at home on grass or turf, on the
road on turf or grass. Obviously, a kicker can only attempt field goals at home on grass
or turf, so one of these categories is represented with a zero. The first column of each
category is the number offield goals made to the number offield goals missed. The
second column for each category is the percentage. When computing the three parts to
the equation, it is known from earlier computed stats that the average success rate of a
field goal on grass is 78%, while on turf the rate is 81 %. The first part of the equation is
finding the home rate of either grass or turf. Take the number of successful field goals
and subtract the unsuccessful field goals and find the difference. Next, take each kicker's
percent made at home (as a decimal) and subtract the average percent of field goals made

to find the difference. If the kicker's home surface is grass, then use 0.78; otherwise, use
0.81. Once these two differences are found, multiply them together and use a multiplier
of three. In this equation, we have multipliers of three, two and one. The three
represents home kicks, while the two will represent road kicks on grass since more kicks
are attempted on grass. The multiplier of one will represent the number for road kicks on
turf.
The second part of the equation is using a similar method as part one. Again, take
the number of made field goals and missed field goals on the road on grass and find their
difference. This time take the kicker's percent on grass on the road and subtract 0.78 to
find the difference. Multiply these differences and use the multiplier of two to get a
result. For the third part of the equation, use field goals attempted on the road on turf and
use 0.81 as the average percent for everyone. There is a multiplier for this part, but it is
one. Therefore, leave the result as is. Once all three parts ofthe equation are found, add
them together to get a final score. This can be seen in table 13 where the score is
highlighted in bold. The top seven kickers in this equation have been listed with all of
their statistics.
The third add-on to the formula is field goals attempted indoors in a domed
stadium or in an outdoor stadium. By using information in sheet seven, two of the six
categories in the outdoor/indoor equation are easily found. However, sheets three and
four will be used to find information on the total yardage of field goals made and missed
from outdoors or indoors.

Table 14
By table 14, which is also found on sheet seven of the Excel workbook,
information is still needed in the yardage of made and missed field goals from outdoors
and indoors. The number of field goals attempted for made and missed field goals also
needs to be found. Once the information for each kicker is known, the calculations can
begin. This can be done in sheet seven of the Excel workbook as a copy of it will be
shown in table 15 below.

Table 15
Use tables 14 and 15 to aid in the calculations. Line one is the total yards of made
field goals outdoors divided by the number of field goal attempts from outdoors, which
gives the average yardage per field goal. Multiply that number by 0.15 for the result.
Line three is computed exactly the same way with the exception that the field goal
attempts are from inside and the multiplier is 0.1. Yet, lines two and four have one major
difference in how they are computed. For line two, the total yardage of the missed field
goals from outdoors is found and then divided by the number of attempts from outdoors.
34
This results in the average yardage per field goal which is then multiplied by 0.1 to get
the result for line two. But, if the average yardage per field goal is over 45 yards, there is
a limit set for the average of missed field goals at 45 yards. For example, if the average
is 48 yards per field goal, the limit will set the average back to 45 yards so it can be
calculated. Similarly, line four has the same limit of an average missed field goal being
45 yards and anything over that distance will still be 45 yards.
For lines five and six, refer to either sheet four or sheet seven to find the
percentages for each kicker from outdoors and indoors. Based on the averages for all
kickers in the '03 season, the standard average was set at 75% success rate outdoors
because of potential weather and other problems. The standard average success rate for
field goals made indoors is 80%. To find lines five and six, subtract the average rate
from each kicker's percentage and multiply by ten. Once all lines have been computed,
refer to table 14 and use the formula for the overall total.
The last add-on to the formula is the field goals made and the percent in each
quarter and in "pressure" situations. On sheet eight of the Excel file are ten different
categories that will be in the "quarter" equation. Each quarter and the pressure situations
have a section of field goals made in each quarter and also a section on the field goal
percentage during that quarter. A pressure situation is defined in the kicker ratings as a
field goal made in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter or any field goal made during
an overtime period. To figure the average percent, find from sheet four the percentage of
all field goals made to field goals attempted. The result is that approximately 79% of all
field goals attempted were made. Thus, 79% is used in this formula as the standard in
35
which all kickers need to have a minimum percent. Otherwise, the category in this
equation will become a negative value and take away from the final result.
The final equation becomes the kicker's percent in 1st quarter - .79 multiplied by
the number of made field goals in the 1st quarter plus the kicker's percent in the 2nd
quarter - 0.79. Next, multiply by the number of made field goals in the second quarter.
Multiply again in the second quarter section by 1.5. The third quarter is found in the
same style as the first quarter. The same goes for the fourth quarter in that it is also found
the same style as the second quarter. The last section for "pressure kicks" is similar to all
of the other quarters with the exception of the multiplier being two. The multipliers are
in place to provide more of an emphasis on clutch kicking. In clutch situations, the more
field goals made, with a good percentage as well, should be well rewarded in the
equation. A clutch field goal usually means a win in the standings for the kicker and his
team, which is probably more important.
No longer is the quarterback the only player in football that has a rating to judge
performance. Now, the kicker has several different ratings and formulas to be able to
judge how well the kicker is performing at any point in the season. The four kicker
ratings are fairly simplistic in that many football fans could calculate these ratings. The
actual formula for kickers is directed towards statisticians and others that want to have
some real depth on how a kicker should be evaluated. There are possible flaws in these
formulas, which is to be expected in the upcoming 2004 NFL season they might be
exposed. Each rating and formula was purely based on one single regular season in the
NFL. The 2004 season averages may be higher or lower than this season's. Something
might occur in upcoming seasons that were not thought possible of the '03 season. One
36
kicker in all of these ratings that has ranked middle of the pack at best has been New
England's Adam Vinatieri. However, any casual football fan can tell how valuable he
has been to New England with two Super Bowl winning field goals and other clutch
playoff field goals. This proves that any rating may have a kicker or two that defies
explanation. Lastly, these ratings were purely for professional kickers. Despite that, any
of these ratings can be modified to include collegiate kickers, high school kickers and
even arena league kickers to measure their true value.
