Piotr Czech brings elite leg strength to Wagner’s kicking legacy
Piotr Czech is best known as Wagner’s all-time great kicker, highlighted by a program-record 44 made field goals, 111 extra points, and a career-best field goal percentage of .688 in his four-year run from 2004-07. His calling card was NFL-range leg power—he hit from 56 yards in the 2007 season, still the longest field goal in NEC history, and also drilled 50-yard and 54-yard kicks. If you want a kicker who changes field position and can flip a game with one swing of the leg, Czech is the prototype.
