- Morton Andersen
Discipline, authentic, purposeful, stubborn, will, fearless Morton Andersen Discipline, authentic, purposeful, stubborn, will, fearless Born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark, Andersen came to the U.S. as an exchange student, attending Ben Davis High School. The school had no soccer team, so Andersen tried out for the football team on a whim and quickly became the team’s kicker. It didn’t take long for colleges to notice this new talent. The next season, Andersen was playing for the Michigan State Spartans. At Michigan State University, he was named All-American and Academic All-Big Ten in his senior season. The New Orleans Saints drafted Andersen in the 4th round of the 1982 NFL Draft. His first year was challenging. After his first kickoff he injured his foot, forcing him to miss the next eight weeks of a strike-shortened season. However, it did not take long before Andersen earned the name, “The Great Dane”. By the time he was done, Andersen made 6 Pro Bowls and 309 out of 389 field goals attempted. He scored 1,318 points during the time he played for the Saints. After the 1994 season, the salary cap was adopted in the NFL. Negotiations with the Saints fell through, and so Andersen signed with the Atlanta Falcons for the ’95 season. In his first year with the Falcons, Andersen made Pro Bowl, with 31 of 37 goals attempted. In ’98, he made the most memorable kick in Falcons history when he kicked a 39 yard goal in overtime to defeat the Vikings in the NFC Championship. Andersen stayed with the Falcons through the 2000 season. He then spent a season with the New York Giants, two seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, and a season with the Minnesota Vikings before finishing his career with the Falcons in 2007. During that last season, he had the most accurate season of his career, making 25 out of 28 field goals attempted. During his remarkable career in the NFL, Andersen is the only player to hold statistical franchise records for 2 NFL teams. He played in a record 382 games. He’s also the lead scorer in the history of the NFL and the all-time leader in field goals made. Morten Andersen Global was started in 2009. With this business-to-business consulting company, Andersen offers international business consulting, brand promotions, event planning services, and public speaking engagements. Andersen also provides kicker services and personal consultations, and is currently writing his second book, titled ‘A Certain Kind of Stubborn’ . The Morten Andersen Family Foundation is a nonprofit organization that Morten started with his wife, Jennifer. The foundation raises money for quality of life programs for children and youth. The foundation also created the Special Teams for Special Ops program which raises money to support critically wounded Special Operations Soldiers and the families of the fallen. Morten notes, “There’s plenty on our plate and plenty of exciting things coming up in the next stage of our life.” TOPICS A Certain kind of Stubborn What you give will grow, what you keep will perish Life is a Kick Live a Hall of Fame life BOOKS Life Is a Kick PAST CLIENTS Certified Angus Beef Grundfos Pro Football Hall of Fame National Football League New Orleans Saints Better Collective
