If you know of others that belong on this list, please say so.  Kinda thin here, but maybe the best shot for a kicker, lol.

That's my vote too.  I need to practice what I preach re: not defaulting to QB/RB

I gotta go homer here..........

Sam Francis was a shot putter who was NCAA champion in 1937 for the University of Nebraska and placed fourth in the shot put at the 1936 Summer Olympics, but he was better known as a football player. He was a running back for the Cornhuskers and in 1936 was runner-up in voting for the Heisman Trophy. Francis was a first round draft choice of the Philadelphia Eagles and played for four years in the NFL, but never for the Eagles, as they quickly traded him to the Chicago Bears. Francis later played for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Brooklyn Dodgers. His career was interrupted by World War II, and he then served in the Army until 1966, retiring with the rank of colonel. He also spent one year as head football coach at Kansas State in 1947.

I do believe Janikowski was a fat prick alcoholic.  But he could really boot 'em!

In my opinion Janikowski was not the best FSU kicker; Robert Aguayo hit on 88.5% of his field goals whereas Janikowski hit on 79.5%, and Aguayo had 3 more made for his career. Aguayo didn't wear #38. I didn't go homer here.
George Rogers took my vote for #38.
Janikowski would get my vote for largest FSU kicker.

Janikowski’s notoriety was his distance, not exactly his accuracy.  He was the first guy whose 50+ yard kicks weren’t scraping over the crossbar.

Who could have predicted a kicker from Colorado wouldn't be as advertised in the state of FL?!???
