Fantasy:
The Las Vegas Raiders’ Daniel Carlson notched the highest on-field earnings total among his kicking peers this season at $6.7 million, thanks in part to a $4 million signing bonus, according to Spotrac. McPherson, a rookie, pulled in just over $1 million while Gay collected $850,000.
By comparison, the top five on-field earners in the NFL this season made at least $29 million, with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott leading the way at $75 million after picking up a massive signing bonus with his new contract.
Draft pick:
When it comes to kickers, brands are no more generous than teams. The league’s stars, who are primarily quarterbacks, can unlock multimillion-dollar marketing windfalls.
Kickers are lucky if they do a mere fraction of that, says Delpy Neirotti, who estimates these players are grabbing low five-figure deals at best from local or regional partners.
Brother:
Logan McPherson is the oldest brother. “I told Alex it wouldn’t be surprising or crazy if he hit a game-winner, because, at this point in the season, it’s kind of what he does,” Logan McPherson said.
Their brother is currently 12 for 12 in field goals for the postseason.
McPherson is engaged to Gracie Groat. McPherson’s older brother Logan was also an all-state kicker for Fort Payne High School and went on to play punter for Louisiana Tech University. His younger brother Alex made an All-State as a kicker with Fort Payne in 2019, and as a punter in 2020.
Parents:
Parents, and Fort Payne High School sweethearts, LaDon and Amber McPherson, will celebrate 30 years of marriage on March 16. RELATED:
Kenny Hall will play football for Navy. He’s had a difficult journey to this point.
Super Bowl:
Evan McPherson is already the second best kicker in the league as a rookie. The only leg that stands in front of him is Justin Tucker’s, but given how McPherson’s first year in the NFL went, he could easily be the GOAT when his career is all said and done.
The Cincinnati Bengals kicker has made 28 of 33 field goals, including nine over 50 yards, and converted 46 of 48 extra points so far this year.
MVP:
His consistency birthed the nicknames “Money Mac” and “Shooter.” Why he doesn’t yell “Choke on that, baby!” after every make is beyond me.
He hit a walk-off 52-yard field goal to beat the Tennessee Titans in the AFC Divisional Round. He followed it up by ripping a 31-yarder against the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime of the AFC Championship Game to send Cincinnati to its first Super Bowl in 33 years.
