Place Kicker
No. 3
Cornell
"Here's the player who really ended the war between the NFL and AFL. When Pete signed with the Giants in '66, after two years as the place-kicking star of the AFL Buffalo Bills, the AFL replied by raiding NFL rosters. Before long, however, the great peace treaty was signed.
Hungarian-born Pete also introduced the sidewheeling, soccer style of place-kicking to U.S. football while playing college ball at Cornell. Last year he connected on all 33 of his extra point attempts and made 11 out of 21 field goal tries."
-Brenda and Jack Zanger, Pro Football 1970
