Brett Alan Conway (born March 8, 1975) is an American former professional football player who was a placekicker for seven seasons with various teams in the National Football League (NFL). He was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the third round of the 1997 NFL draft. [2] Conway played college football at Penn State, where his 276 career points rank him second all-time, and his 119 consecutive extra points are a school record.
He kicked in four bowl games: Citrus, Rose, Outback, and Fiesta.
Conway was selected by the Packers with the anticipation of him replacing the Packers' former stalwart kicker, Chris Jacke. However, Conway did not make a single field goal in any of the preseason games and injured his quadriceps in the process of correcting a kicking mechanics issue [3] . The Packers instead went with undrafted free agent Ryan Longwell, when Conway was unable to play.
Longwell and Conway then competed for the starting role for the 1998 season, with Conway getting cut and subsequently traded to the New York Jets [4]
Conway went on to play with eight different teams before retiring after the 2004-05 season with the Minnesota Vikings.
