Rhode Island - Al Del Greco

After 39 states and NFL alumni have been crowned, we've finally got our first kicker on the list, representing the smallest state in the country. The king of the Plantation State officially belongss to none other than Al Del Greco. Former NFL safety and returnman, Will Blackmon, is also a Rhode Island native, but didn't have quite the NFL career, Del Greco went on to have as a placekicker. Del Greco took his golden leg down south to play his collegiate ball at Auburn University where he his tied for most field goals in a single game (6) and currently ranked fifth in the career scoring list notching a total of 236 points.

While kickers tend to get the short end of the stick when it comes to the NFL Draft, Del Greco went undrafted in 1984, but later signed a contract with the Green Bay Packers that same year. Instantly, Del Greco earned his on-field moniker, 'Automatic Al' as he went to make 347 of his 439 field goal attempts (77.3%), 551 out of his 554 extra point kicks (99.46%), scoring a total of 1,592 points in seventeen seasons in the NFL. With that many points under his belt, Del Greco is currently 21st on the NFL's All-Time Scoring Leaders list. With Al Del Greco repping for the kickers on this list, you gotta put some respect on his name.
