At the time of his retirement in 2007, Morten Andersen was widely considered the greatest placekicker of all time. Consistency and longevity were the hallmarks of his Hall of Fame career. Anderson retired with countless records, not only as a kicker but in categories with statistics and milestones that set the bar for the history of the game, regardless of position. He retired as the all time leading scorer in NFL history. He left the sport having appeared in the most games in NFL history and a wide range of other records.
Andersen left the New Orleans Saints as the team’s all-time leading scorer, joined the Atlanta Falcons and by the time of his departure became that team’s all time leading scorer.
By the time he finally retired after an astonishing 25 seasons in the league, “The Great Dane” was a five-time First Team All-Pro, a seven time Pro Bowler and a member of both the 1980s and 1990s NFL All Decade Teams.
In September of 2020, he launched a new sports gambling podcast with the Vegas Insider Podcast network called Great Dane Nation.
