Thought you guys would like to get a look at this. Broke down both of Gostkowski's 54-yard attempts this year - the made one against the NYG, the missed one against BUF.
But beginning in 2013, Gostkowski has been nothing short of outstanding. His accuracy over the last three seasons reads like an atlas for the interstate highway system: 93%, 95%, 96%. Gostkowski has also been tremendous from long-distance, dialing up 85.7% accuracy on kicks longer than 50 yards since 2012, while the rest of the league has hit at only a 63.1% rate.
What makes Gostkowski so good from this range? It is a combination of an incredibly quiet approach, nearly-perfect form, and the best follow-through in the NFL.
