He also ranks 23rd on the NFL's all-time scoring list, and if he maintains his roughly 120-point career average over the next three years, he'll have a chance to crack the top 10, depending on how long fellow veteran kickers Stephen Gostkowski (1,775, 12th), Matt Bryant (1,758, 13th) and Robbie Gould (1,638, 19th) continue to play.
But the Packers aren't keeping him for nostalgia or posterity's sake. They're bringing him back because he's still at the top of his game, making 22-of-24 field goals in 2019 (tying the franchise record for single-season accuracy), missing just one extra point and setting a personal best in touchback percentage on kickoffs (62%).
"The continuity with our three specialists is huge," Head Coach Matt LaFleur said, referring to Crosby, punter JK Scott and long snapper Hunter Bradley, the latter two having joined the Packers just two years ago.
"He's been through everything. There's nothing he hasn't seen. He came up big for us last season, and we expect the same in the future."
Crosby's on-field highlights last season were a pair of walk-off field goals to beat the division-rival Lions, and his late-game reliability was invaluable to a Packers team that won a number of close games.
