A member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 1991, Jan was the first “pure placekicker” – someone who didn’t also play another position – to be enshrined. He was elected in his first year of eligibility after a pro career in which he converted 373 out of 558 field goals (67%) and 580 out of 601 extra points (97%) for a total of 1,699 points scored.
His career totals for field goals and points scored still rank in the NFL’s Top 20, and he did not miss a game due to injury – 263 regular-season contests with the Chiefs, Packers and Vikings from 1967 to 1985.
