Anyone who knows Florida football knows that Caleb Sturgis is one of the greatest kickers the school has ever seen. He was responsible for 338 points and led the Gators to victory on quite a few occasions. After starting in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins, Sturgis made his way north to the Philadelphia Eagles and it looks like it's paid off for him.

Sturgis hit his second field goal of the game against Dallas Cowboys in the final game of the regular season and that set the new record as it was his 35th made field goal of the season. He also hit 30 of his 31 extra points to give him 135 points on the season. His longest field goal of the season was a 55-yarder against Dallas earlier in the year.
