Kicker Robbie Gould has announced his retirement via social media, concluding an illustrious 18-season career in the NFL, with his final six seasons (2017-22) spent as a key player for the San Francisco 49ers.
"I tried my best to play as hard as I could and give everything I could to the organization, and I think, obviously, my body of work speaks [to] that," Gould said in July of his time with the 49ers.
In his final season with the 49ers (2022), Gould connected on 84.4 percent of his field goal attempts and 98 percent of his extra-point attempts. Throughout his entire career, he maintained high standards, completing 86.5 percent of his field goal attempts and 97.5 percent of his extra-point attempts.
Notably, Gould showcased his clutch performance in the playoffs, successfully completing all 29 of his field goal attempts and all 39 of his extra-point attempts.
The New England Patriots signed Gould as an undrafted free agent from Penn State in 2005. He later played for the Chicago Bears and New York Giants before his time with San Francisco.
In 2006, Gould was named a first-team All-Pro and selected to the Pro Bowl.
