Longtime Green Bay Packers kicker and fan favorite Mason Crosby is hanging up the cleats after a spectacular 17-year career.
Speaking on the latest edition of “The Mason Crosby Show” on 105.7 The Fan in Milwaukee, the 40-year-old and Packers’ all-time scoring leader announced that he is retired from football.
“I think I’ve been putting this off for two years, I’ve been putting it out of my mind. I think this stubbornness is what served me so well in my playing career. So today, I make my official announcement to retire from the NFL.”
The Lubbock, Texas, native was drafted in the sixth round (193rd overall) by the Packers in 2007. The Colorado product helped the Packers to six total NFC Championship Game appearances (2007, 2010, 2014, 2016, 2019 and 2020) and a Super Bowl 45 title in the 2010 season.
Crosby made 81.3 percent of his career field goal attempts and was 739-of-760 on extra points. He holds the record for most consecutive postseason field goals made at 20, a streak that spanned from 2011 to 2015.
The Packers moved on from Mason Crosby after the 2022 season. He appeared in three games for the New York Giants in 2023 but wasn’t re-signed after going 5-of-7 on FG attempts.
All the best to Crosby in his post-playing future after a marvelous run with one of the NFL’s most storied franchises.
Mason Crosby Was Money For The Packers
Many kickers’ legacies are made or broken by performances in the postseason. Well, Crosby will only be known fondly in Packer land as an all-time clutch kicker, having made 88.6 percent of his career playoff FG attempts.
Perhaps the most memorable kick of Crosby’s career was the game-winning 51-yarder in the 2016 NFC Divisional Round, which saw Green Bay knock off the top-seeded Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.
