Nathaniel James Kaeding (born March 26, 1982) is an American football placekicker who plays for the San Diego Chargers of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Chargers in the 2004 NFL Draft in the 3rd round with a pick acquired from Rivers-Manning Trade.
College
The Coralville, Iowa native played college football at the University of Iowa, where he won the Lou Groza Award in 2002 and is the all time leading scorer.He had lived up to the nickname even in high school by playing in state championship games in three different sports (basketball, football and soccer) at Iowa City West High School.
Professional
In January, 2005, Kaeding became only the second rookie in NFL history to attempt a potential game-winning field goal in the playoffs in the 4th quarter or overtime. His 40-yard field goal attempt 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.
In the 2007 Pro Bowl, Kaeding kicked a game winning 21-yard field goal with four seconds left. That was the last time he ever made a field goal that mattered. He has missed a total of 5 potentially game winning field goals in playoff games, and in 2009 he willed the Jets to victory behind 3 shanks.
Kaeding's postseason struggles continued in the 2006 NFL Playoffs, when he missed a 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.
Kaeding suffered a fractured left leg 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 on the fractured leg. [1]
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). Nate's 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 the 2009 NFL Season, Kaeding completed 32 out of 35 (91.4%) Field Goals. His season long of 55 yards came in a Week 12 victory over Kansas City. [2]However during the divisional post season game against the New York Jets he missed three field goals, which ultimately cost the Chargers and knocked them out of the running.
