Stenerud arrived in the United States from Norway on a ski jumping scholarship to Montana State and he was “discovered” by practicing kicking footballs in the offseason. Not only was he a natural, he would become a six-time Pro Bowler, five with Kansas City where he helped to usher in a wave of specialized kickers.
He entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1991 and the Chiefs Hall of Fame a year later. When the NFL announced their 100th Anniversary Team, he was chosen as one of the Special Teams players.
