Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Aubrey’s path to NFL stardom was unconventional, to say the least. He went from being a software engineer to a kicker, and now he’s the richest kicker in the league.
He’s had a remarkable start to his career, nailing an NFL record for most kicks made without a miss to start his career at 35.
And then there were the records he broke against the Detroit Lions, becoming the first player to make three field goals of at least 55 yards in the same game, and the first with three from at least 60 yards in the same season.
This one felt recognizable early.
Original Observation: Aubrey’s journey to becoming the richest kicker in NFL history is a reminder that talent can be found in the most unexpected places.
