Setting a Super Standard
We run up to another Chiefs Super Bowl a week from Sunday, a great time to revisit a fabulous past conversation with Pro Football Hall of Famer and Super Bowl hero Jan Stenerud. The native of Norway came to the U.S. as a ski jumper, before a standout college career, and nearly two decade stint in the NFL leading to being the first exclusive kicker elected to the Hall.
A Unique Path to the Hall
Hitting the archives for a fascinating conversation with Pro Football Hall of Famer Jan Stenerud. Fifty three years ago this week, the Chiefs won Super Bowl IV, with Jan scoring the first nine points on field goals. It was a highlight of an unlikely story of a Norwegian immigrant who came to the U.S. on a ski jumping scholarship, and ended up in Canton. Enjoy the memories!
Serendipity and Creating Firsts
Jan Stenerud came from his native Norway to become a college ski jumper, which somehow
led to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and a Super Bowl win.
