2) Matt Bryant, ATL

Matt Bryant has been a rock ever since coming to the Atlanta Falcons in 2009. Bryant will soon pass kicking great, Morton Anderson for the most field goals in Falcons history and already holds the highest percentage of made field goals in Falcons history at 88 percent.

Bryant has two kicks that stand out from all of the rest, one coming on a 62-yard game winner while with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the other coming on a 49-yard game winner to send the Falcons to the 2012 NFC Championship game over the Seattle Seahawks.

In 2014, Bryant finished 29-32 good enough for 90.6 percent. Bryant led the NFL with seven made kicks of 50 or more yards. His three misses also came from 50 or more yards, giving him a perfect record from 1-49 yards away. It is safe to say Bryant is pretty close to automatic and gives the Falcons a great chance to when any time the ball comes off his foot.
