RYAN SUCCOP - 2009

Ryan Succop was the 256th player taken in the draft in April 2009 when the Kansas City Chiefs selected Succop, a kicker from the University of South Carolina. Succop finished his rookie season tying an NFL record for highest field goal percentage by a rookie in a season with 86.2%. He also passed NFL Hall of Famer Jan Stenerud for most field goals made by a rookie in Chiefs history. He was awarded the Mack Lee Hill Award by the Chiefs in 2009, and led the team in scoring. At the end of the 2011 season, Succop signed a five-year contract extension worth $14 million, which includes $2 million in guaranteed salary and $675,000 in incentives if Succop makes a Pro Bowl and the Chiefs make the playoffs every season of his contract. On September 23, 2012, Succop became the Chiefs all-time leader in FGs attempted and FGs made in a single game (going 6-for-6) en route to a 27-24 OT win at the New Orleans Saints.
