Austin Seibert

2019 · Round 5 · Pick 170 · PK · Cleveland Browns

Austin Seibert was born in Belleville, Illinois, and attended Belleville West High School. At Oklahoma he was both the placekicker and punter. He was second-team All-Big 12 in 2015 and 2017, then first-team All-Big 12 and the Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Year in 2018. Cleveland drafted him in the fifth round, 170th overall, in 2019. As a rookie he made 25 of 29 field goals and made the PFWA All-Rookie Team. Cleveland waived him after Week 1 of 2020, and he went on to kick for Cincinnati, Detroit, the New York Jets (two stints), New Orleans and Washington. He made 72 of 86 NFL field goals (83.7%), with a long of 55. Tidbit: he holds the Commanders' franchise record with seven field goals in one game. Wikipedia lists him as retired. The Oklahoma Daily wrote on September 15, 2020: "Before being waived, Seibert was entering his second season with the Browns after they drafted him in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft."
