Adam Vinatieri

Adam Vinatieri, a K, appears on NFL rosters across 1996–2020. Everything below is drawn from open roster data; the figures are facts, not our opinion of the player.

The basics

Seasons on an NFL roster

25 seasons of roster appearances, 1996–2020. A row here means the player was on that team's roster that year.

Career statistics

Regular-season totals, 1999–2026 (the seasons the open statistics cover). Play-offs are not included.

Defensive statistics

Regular-season totals, 1999–2026. Solo and assisted tackles, tackles for loss, sacks, quarterback hits, interceptions, passes defended, forced fumbles and opponent fumbles recovered. Sacks are shared between players, so a total can end in a half. Play-offs are not included.

Kicking statistics

Regular-season totals, 1999–2026. Field goals made and attempted, the longest of each season, made kicks by distance, and extra points. The career row gives the longest single kick, not a sum. Play-offs are not included.

What is not recorded

Everything this page could not tell you, and why. An empty field in the source is not a fact about the player.

• Draft. No draft is recorded. That is not the same as being undrafted — a pick is recorded for only 28% of players here, and 647 more have a drafting club named with no pick number against it. An empty field is a gap in the source, so this page does not call him undrafted.
• Seasons without statistics. 2020 is inside the 1999–2026 window but carry no numbers.
• Seasons before the statistics begin. 1996, 1997, 1998 fall before 1999, where the open statistics start, so they are roster appearances only.

Where this came from

Roster appearances, position, college, draft and physicals from nflverse open roster data. Seasons before about 1999 are roster-only, so there are no game statistics for them. Teams are linked where the franchise is certain; earlier seasons show the code used at the time.
