Greg Joseph
Greg Joseph (born August 4, 1994) is a South African professional American football placekicker. He played college football for the Florida Atlantic Owls and signed with the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent in 2018. Joseph has also been a member of the Cleveland Browns, Tennessee Titans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay Packers, Detroit Lions, New York Giants, Washington Commanders, New York Jets, and San Francisco 49ers. He is one of the more famous Jewish athletes in the world.
Joseph was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, to Glen and Ilana Joseph. In 2001, he and his family moved to West Boca Raton, Florida, as his family sought to leave South Africa, and his mother had family in Florida. Joseph has two younger brothers, Marc and Dylan. He is Jewish, and says that Judaism has "absolutely" guided him during his life.
Joseph played football and soccer at Donna Klein Jewish Academy in Boca Raton, Florida (and was named all-county and all-state) and high school football (where he was named all-county, all-state, and All-America by MaxPrep.com) at American Heritage School in Delray Beach, Florida. He decided to focus on football after recognizing that he stood a much better chance of getting a college scholarship and going pro in football than in soccer.
Joseph spent five years at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) in Boca Raton after walking onto the football team and redshirting his freshman year, and graduated in 2017 with a degree in exercise science and health promotion. Joseph graduated as the Owls' all-time leader in field goals made (57), points scored (336), points after touchdown (PATs) made (165; in 170 attempts), and field goals attempted. He also set the university's single-game records for PATs, field goals, points scored by kicking, and the Owls' longest field goal (54 yards). Joseph was named Honorable Mention All-Conference USA in his redshirt junior and redshirt senior seasons in 2016 and 2017, respectively.
As of February 2019, Joseph was working towards finishing his MBA at FAU.
After going undrafted in the 2018 NFL draft, Joseph was signed as a free agent by the Miami Dolphins. He made all three kicks he attempted in the preseason. Joseph was released on September 1, 2018.
Joseph was signed by the Cleveland Browns on September 17, 2018. He replaced Zane Gonzalez, who was cut from the team after missing two field goals and two extra points the previous day against the New Orleans Saints. During a Week 5 12–9 overtime victory over the Baltimore Ravens, Joseph made a game-winning 37-yard field goal in overtime.
In his lone season with the Browns, Joseph made 17 of 20 field goal attempts, with a long of 51 (his three misses were beyond 40 yards), and made 25-of-29 extra points. Joseph was 4-of-4 from 20-to-29 yards, 7-of-7 from 30-to-39 yards, 5-of-7 from 40-to-49 yards and 1-of-2 from 50-plus yards. In 2018, he handled 69 total kickoffs and achieved a touchback on 68.1% of them.
