He was selected in the third round of the 2004 NFL draft by the San Diego Chargers,[1] where he played for nine seasons.

San Diego Chargers

[edit]

During the 2004 season, Kaeding attempted to become the first rookie since the 1970 season to attempt a game-winning field goal in the playoffs in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter or in overtime.[a] His 40-yard field goal attempt on a wet field missed, and the Chargers lost in the wild card round to the New York Jets, who won the game on a Doug Brien field goal.[7]

Kaeding's postseason struggles continued in the 2006 NFL Playoffs, when he missed a potential game tying 54-yard field goal attempt against the New England Patriots. He had not missed a field goal at home in the previous two years prior to that 54-yard attempt. He was selected to his first Pro Bowl that season, where he kicked the game-winning 21-yard field goal with four seconds left in the game.

Kaeding suffered a fractured fibula when he made a tackle on the opening kickoff against the Denver Broncos on December 24, 2007, and played the final 5 games of the season with the fractured fibula.[8]

Kaeding in 2008

In the 2007 playoffs, Kaeding missed a field goal each in the Wild Card weekend game against Tennessee (which San Diego won) and against the Indianapolis Colts (which San Diego also won). His streak of consecutive playoff games with a missed field goal stood at 4 but was ended with a made field goal from 40 yards against New England.

In 2009, Kaeding was tied for the NFL lead for most field goals made (32) and was one of only four to convert on over 90% of his attempts (91.4%).[2] His season long of 54 yards came in a Week 15 victory over Cincinnati Bengals. However, in the AFC Divisional Round against the New York Jets, Kaeding's postseason struggles continued as he missed all three of his attempted field goals, from 36, 57, and 40 yards; the Chargers lost the game 17–14.[7][9] His three misses in the game were a career-high and matched his entire total from the regular season.[2] In his postseason career, Kaeding was 3-for-9 on field goal attempts at home and 8-for-15 (53.3%) overall in eight playoff games.[7][10]

In 2011, Kaeding was injured on the first play of the season when he tore his anterior cruciate ligament, causing him to miss the duration of the season and necessitated the signing of Nick Novak.[11] Kaeding ended the 2011 season as the NFL's most accurate kicker of all time, converting 86.5% of his field goals attempts.[12][13] He competed for his job in 2012 and beat out Novak, who also had a strong showing.[14] However, Kaeding suffered a right groin injury and was replaced by Novak in the week 4 game against Kansas City.[15] After missing three games, Kaeding was placed on injured reserve with a minor injury designation that required the Chargers to release him after he recovered.[16][17][18] On October 30, Kaeding became an unrestricted free agent after he was released by the Chargers upon a physical; he collected over $1 million in termination pay. Kaeding made all seven of his field goal attempts with the Chargers in 2012, and left the team as the most accurate kicker in NFL history at 87% (180-of-207).[7][16]

Miami Dolphins

[edit]

On December 21, 2012, Kaeding signed with the Miami Dolphins, replacing incumbent Dan Carpenter, who was out with a groin injury.[19] He missed two of three field goals as a Dolphin, making a 45-yard attempt while missing from 41 and having a 46-yard attempt blocked.[20][21] His career percentage dropped to 86.2, falling to second behind Mike Vanderjagt (86.5).[20]

Retirement

[edit]

On April 2, 2013, Kaeding signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.[22] However, he suffered another groin injury during the offseason. On May 2, he retired from the NFL, citing "chronic issues" with his groin muscle.[23]

In 2019, he worked with the Minnesota Vikings as a part-time kicking consultant.[24]

Personal life

[edit]

In January 2008, Kaeding began writing weekly movie reviews for CorridorBUZZ, a daily arts & entertainment web site serving the Iowa City/Cedar Rapids, Iowa corridor. He co-owns a restaurant in Iowa City called Short's Burgers as well,[25] as another named Pullman Bar and Diner.

Nate and his wife, Samantha (née Gervich), have two sons, Jack and Wyatt, and a daughter, Tess.[26]

Kaeding's tenure with San Diego spanned 2004 to 2011 and included a brief return in 2012, followed by two games with the Miami Dolphins later that year after signing as an injury replacement. Chronic groin injuries hampered his later career, notably sidelining him for the 2011 season and contributing to his struggles in playoffs, where he made only 8 of 15 field goals.

He quickly established himself as the team's primary , stepping into the role as a and contributing to a Chargers squad that reached the playoffs in his debut season.

In the postseason, Kaeding's tenure with San Diego spanned eight games across five appearances, where he converted 8 of 15 field goal attempts (53.3%) and all 18 extra points. While he delivered in key moments, such as a perfect 4-for-4 effort (including from 40 yards) in the 2007 AFC Championship Game against the New England Patriots—a 21-12 loss—his playoff record included notable struggles, like a missed 54-yard game-winner at the end of the 2006 divisional playoff against the same opponent and three misses (from 36, 40, and 57 yards) in a 17-14 divisional defeat to the New York Jets following the 2009 season. These efforts contributed to the Chargers' four playoff berths during his time, though the team advanced past the divisional round only once.

Miami Dolphins

On December 21, 2012, the Miami Dolphins signed veteran kicker Nate Kaeding to replace Dan Carpenter, who had been placed on injured reserve with a groin injury sustained in practice. This came shortly after Kaeding's release from the San Diego Chargers earlier that season due to his own groin injury. Kaeding, a two-time Pro Bowl selection known for his career field goal accuracy, joined the team for the final two games of the regular season. Kaeding appeared in two games for the Dolphins. In Week 16 against the on December 23, he converted 3 of 3 extra points and was 1 of 2 on attempts, making a 45-yard kick in the third quarter but having a 46-yard attempt blocked in the first quarter. The following week, in a 28-0 loss to the on December 30, Kaeding had no extra point attempts but missed his only try, a 41-yarder in the second quarter that sailed wide left. Overall, in his brief tenure, Kaeding went 1 for 3 on s and 3 for 3 on extra points. The Dolphins did not retain Kaeding after the 2012 season, releasing him as part of roster moves in early 2013.

Injuries and retirement

Kaeding's professional career was increasingly disrupted by recurring injuries starting in 2010. During warm-ups before the Chargers' Week 6 game against the on October 17, 2010, he strained his , which forced him to miss the remainder of the season after appearing in five games. In 2011, a torn (ACL) in his left knee during the season-opening kickoff against the Minnesota Vikings sidelined him for the remainder of the season after appearing in the opener. The groin problems persisted into 2012, when Kaeding strained his right adductor during practice on September 28, prior to the Chargers' Week 5 matchup with the ; he had been perfect on s (7-for-7) in the first three games before the injury. Placed on injured reserve on October 22, he did not play again for that year, and the team released him from IR on after he passed a physical, effectively ending his tenure with the Chargers after eight seasons. Kaeding signed with the on December 21 to replace the injured and appeared in the final two games of the 2012 season, going 1-for-3 on attempts amid lingering pain that limited his effectiveness. In April 2013, Kaeding signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a backup kicker, but during preparations for the upcoming season, he reaggravated his right adductor injury, prompting his retirement announcement on May 2. "Over the last three years I've struggled with recurring muscle injuries in my kicking leg," Kaeding stated, adding that the latest setback confirmed he could no longer meet the NFL's demands for consistency and durability. These injuries, particularly the groin strains affecting his kicking leg's adductor muscles—key for stabilizing and powering the kicking motion—ultimately prevented a full recovery despite rehabilitation efforts, as such soft-tissue injuries in athletes often recur due to the repetitive, high-force nature of kicking. Over his nine-year NFL career, primarily with the Chargers, Kaeding appeared in 115 games, converting 181 of 210 field goals (86.2 percent) and 352 of 354 extra points (99.4 percent) for 895 total points. In announcing his , he reflected on the frustration of ending his career this way but expressed excitement for returning home to Iowa City with his family to begin a new chapter. His postseason performances, including several missed field goals in key games, were also exacerbated by these accumulating injuries.

In this role, he provided guidance to the team's kickers, punters, and long snappers, focusing on technique refinement and performance under pressure during practices and the 2019 season. Kaeding's involvement helped address the Vikings' special teams challenges, drawing on his nine-year NFL career where he achieved an 86.2% field goal success rate. His tenure with the team extended into the 2020 offseason but remained part-time, with no further full-time NFL coaching positions reported as of 2025. Kaeding serves as the chief instructor at Midwest Kicking Camps, a program founded in 1971 that trains aspiring kickers, punters, and long snappers. He leads sessions for high school and college prospects, emphasizing fundamentals like ball contact, alignment, and mental preparation, informed by his own experiences as a two-time All-American at the .

In August 2023, the group acquired the historic Hamburg Inn No. 2, a dating back to 1945 known for its political clientele, reopening it in October 2023 with preserved charm and updated menu items like gourmet burgers and breakfast options. Prior to fully committing to Gold Cap, Kaeding was involved in Short's Burgers & Shine, a casual burger spot he helped launch in 2008 while still playing professionally, serving as a part-owner until around 2020 as the business expanded. Through these ventures, Gold Cap Hospitality has contributed to reshaping downtown Iowa City's food scene by fostering elevated, destination-worthy dining that attracts regional tourists and integrates into the community's cultural fabric, aiming to make its restaurants synonymous with the local experience. As of 2025, Kaeding has expanded his role to include real estate development with Gold Cap.
