Adam Vinatieri embodies football greatness. He had an incredibly long career, 24 seasons played between New England and Indianapolis. He’s made more field goals than anyone in history. He’s scored more points than anyone in league history, and most importantly, he has four championship rings. But let’s not forget, two of those rings came off his two game-winning kicks. Not to mention what Bill Belichick calls “the greatest kick of all-time” – the “Blizzard Boot” snow kick against Oakland in the 2002 playoffs.

With Vinatieri a finalist for the Hall of Fame in 2025, we dug through Topps Football’s historical sets to find some of the best cards you need to collect of this GOAT kicker.
