Jan Stenerud (b. 1942), from Norway, is a former football player for the Kansas City Chiefs of the American Football League and the Green Bay Packers of the NFL. Stenerud was the first professional football player to be used as a dedicated kicker, due to his excellent "sharp shooting" ball kicking performance. He was one of the first placekickers to use the "soccer style", a technique first implemented in the AFL.
Stenerud is a member of the American Football League Hall of Fame, and is the only dedicated kicker to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Chiefs have retired jersey number 3 in his honor.
