The Story of the Autograph
Robbie Gould is a current kicker in the NFL. Right now he plays for the San Francisco 49ers, but previously in his fifteen year career he’s also played for the Chicago Bears and New York Giants.
Gould was born and raised in Pennsylvania. In high school he played football, but also soccer, basketball and track. He went on to attend Penn State University. He was originally aiming to become a professional soccer player, like his Dad, but asked his principal to write a letter to say that he would like to play football. Joe Paterno asked him to try out as a walk-on freshman. He ended up played all four years as their kicker.
He wasn’t drafted when he was eligible in 2005 but signed with the Patriots and Ravens who both cut him. He ended up signing in October of the 2005 season with the Bears to take the spot of their injured kicker. He ended up staying with Chicago for eleven seasons. That included the Bears trip to the Super Bowl in which they lost to the Colts as well as making First-Team All-Pro and the Pro Bowl in 2006.
The Bears released him in 2016 but he caught on with the Giants when their kicker had off the field issue. From there he signed a deal with the 49ers in 2017 and he’s been there ever since.
The Score on Robbie Gould – 6.5
I really wasn’t sending a lot to current players last year. But I really haven’t done much to send anything to current football players. That said, what I’ve been trying to do is see who I might be able to get based on other’s successful returns. Robbie fits in that category for me. I saw other people getting him back and I thought I would give him a try. I’m glad I did and I’m really glad I have him in a Bears uniform.
Thanks Mr. Gould! This one gets a 6.5.
