Longtime Green Bay Packers kicker and fan favorite Mason Crosby is hanging up the cleats after a spectacular 17-year career.
Speaking on the latest edition of “The Mason Crosby Show” on 105.7 The Fan in Milwaukee, the 40-year-old and Packers’ all-time scoring leader announced that he is retired from football.
“I think I’ve been putting this off for two years, I’ve been putting it out of my mind. I think this stubbornness is what served me so well in my playing career. So today, I make my official announcement to retire from the NFL.”
The Lubbock, Texas, native was drafted in the sixth round (193rd overall) by the Packers in 2007. The Colorado product helped the Packers to six total NFC Championship Game appearances (2007, 2010, 2014, 2016, 2019 and 2020) and a Super Bowl 45 title in the 2010 season.

Mason Crosby Was Money For The Packers
Many kickers’ legacies are made or broken by performances in the postseason. Well, Crosby will only be known fondly in Packer land as an all-time clutch kicker, having made 88.6 percent of his career playoff FG attempts.
Perhaps the most memorable kick of Crosby’s career was the game-winning 51-yarder in the 2016 NFC Divisional Round, which saw Green Bay knock off the top-seeded Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.
