Jason Sanders

Jason Thomas Sanders (born November 16, 1995) is an American professional football kicker for the New York Giants of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the New Mexico Lobos.

Sanders attended and played high school football at Villa Park High School.

Sanders attended and played college football at New Mexico from 2014 to 2017. In his collegiate career, he converted 111-of-112 extra point attempts and 25-of-35 field goal attempts, with a career-long of 53 yards.

Out of college, he was touted as the top pro kicking prospect in the country by kicking coach Brent Grablachoff of Kicking World.

Sanders was selected by the Miami Dolphins in the seventh round, 229th overall, of the 2018 NFL draft. He was one of two kickers to be drafted that year. He was named the Dolphins starting kicker following the release of undrafted rookie Greg Joseph.

He made his NFL debut in the season opener against the Tennessee Titans. He converted all three field goal attempts and both extra point attempts in the 27–20 victory.

In Week 6, against the Chicago Bears, he converted the game-winning field goal in overtime.

In 16 games, Sanders made 18 of 20 field goals on the year, and this 90-percent field goal conversion rate was the fifth best in team history. He also converted 35 of 36 extra point attempts. After his first season, Sanders was named to the Pro Football Writers of America 2018 all-rookie team.
