John Kasay - Awards and Records

Awards and Records

Kasay formerly held the record for most field goals in a single season with 37, which he achieved during the 1996 NFL Season, and he was awarded his only Pro Bowl appearance as a result. His record was broken three years later, however, by Olindo Mare, who booted 39 field goals. That record was later broken by Neil Rackers, who made 42 field goals in 2005. That record was later broken by David Akers, who made 44 field goals in 2011.

Kasay holds virtually every Panther kicking record, and is also the all-time points leader of the Panthers.

Kasay also holds many NFL records as a placekicker. He is second all-time for field goals made from 50+ yards (42) made behind only Jason Hanson (50). and is the only person to complete four field goals from 46+ yards in a single game.

Kasay hit his 400th field goal on December 6, 2009 in a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He is only the 7th player in NFL history to accomplish that. Kasay is the longest tenured player to play for the Panthers.
