Kai August Forbath (born September 2, 1987) is an American former professional football placekicker who played in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the UCLA Bruins, earning consensus All-American honors and winning the Lou Groza Award in 2009. He played in the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys, Washington Redskins, New Orleans Saints, Minnesota Vikings, Jacksonville Jaguars, New England Patriots, Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Rams.

Early life

Forbath was born in Santa Monica, California. He attended Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks. During Forbath's last two prep seasons, he converted 26-of-33 field goal attempts and scored 213 total points, with a long field goal of 57 yards. He also forced touchbacks on 150 of 188 kickoffs and made 134-of-135 extra point attempts. Forbath also served as the team's punter and had a punting average of 46 yards that led to him being named to the Los Angeles Times' All-Star team at punter. Forbath subsequently earned high school All-American recognition by USA Today.^[1] In addition to football, Forbath also played soccer in the West Valley Samba Soccer League (National Premier Soccer League). Following his senior season, Forbath was invited to play in the 2006 U.S. Army All-American Bowl and the CaliFlorida Bowl.

Considered a three-star recruit by Rivals.com, Forbath was listed as the No. 1 placekicker in the nation among the class of 2006.^[2]^[3] He picked UCLA over California, Notre Dame, Oregon, among others.

College career

Forbath attended UCLA, where he played for the football team from 2006 to 2010.^[4] After redshirting his initial year at UCLA, Forbath made 25 of 30 field goals and all 30 points after touchdowns (PATs) for a team-high 105 points in 2007.^[5] He became the first UCLA player to record five field goals of at least 50 yards in a season, including a freshman-best 54-yarder versus Oregon.^[6]^[7] In his sophomore year, Forbath received first-team All-Pacific-10 honors after making 19 of 22 field goals on the season, including his last 13 straight.^[8]

As a junior in 2009, he made 28-of-31 field goals (90.3%) and 24-of-25 extra points (96%). Forbath connected on another three field goals from 50 yards or more and had then made 9-of-12 tries from that distance. Competing with Leigh Tiffin of Alabama and Blair Walsh of Georgia, Forbath was named the winner of the 2009 Lou Groza Award, recognizing the best placekicker in college football.^[9] He was named as a Consensus All-American.^[10]

As a senior in 2010, he made 13-of-18 field goals (72.2%) and 27-of-27 extra points (100%). On September 25, 2010, Forbath kicked two field goals in leading the Bruins to an upset victory over the #7 Texas Longhorns 34–12 in front of a stadium-record 101,437 fans in Austin, Texas.^[11] In the previous week, He kicked a 42-yard field goal in the third quarter to give the Bruins a 24–3 lead in the game against then-#23 Houston. UCLA defeated Houston by a score of 31–13.^[12] On November 6, 2010, Forbath kicked a game winning 51-yard field goal in the last second of the game to give the Bruins a 17–14 win over Oregon State, and he was named Pac-10 Conference Special Team Player-of-the-Week.^[13]^[14]

At the time, he finished his college career with an 84.2 career percentage (second in school history), 85 career field goals (tied for first in school history), 357 career points (second in school history), tied for most career games with at least two field goals (27) in NCAA history and tied for most career games with at least three field goals (13) in NCAA history.

All values from NFL Combine^[15]^[16]

Dallas Cowboys (first stint)

Although he was projected as the second-best kicker in the 2011 NFL draft, Forbath was not selected in the Draft. On August 2, Forbath was signed by the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent, but because he had a pre-existing quad injury that did not allow him to practice and that would take a lengthy time to heal, he was immediately placed on the active non-football injury list.^[17] At the time, the Cowboys had an open competition for the placekicker job and were covering themselves in case a player did not emerge from the four kickers they had in training camp at one time.

On August 30, he was placed on the Non-Football Injury list, so he would not count towards the first 80-player cut and later towards the 53-player limit.^[18] The performance of fellow rookie Dan Bailey made the Cowboys decide to keep Forbath on the NFI list during all of the regular season.^[19]

On April 16, 2012, Forbath was waived by the Cowboys, having never participated in a practice with the team.^[20]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers claimed Forbath off waivers on April 17, 2012.^[21] During the preseason, Forbath made all five field goal attempts, including a successful 55-yard kick.^[22]^[23]

Washington Redskins

The Washington Redskins signed Forbath on October 9, 2012, replacing Billy Cundiff.^[24]^[25]^[26] Forbath made his NFL and Washington debut knocking through a 50-yard attempt as his first career NFL field goal in the home game against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 6 on October 14, 2012.^[27] His performance was essential in Washington's victory over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 14, where he recorded 48-yard and 49-yard field goals and then converted a game-winning 34-yard field goal in overtime.^[28]

On December 23, 2012, in Week 16, Forbath set the NFL record for consecutive field goals to begin a career with 17 in a row, beating Garrett Hartley, who previously held the record at 16.^[29]^[30] The football was sent to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.^[31] In the 2012 season, he finished converting 33 of 34 extra point attempts and 17 of 18 field goal attempts.^[32]

In the 2013 season, Forbath converted all 26 extra point attempts and 18 of 22 field goal attempts in 13 games.^[33]

On October 19, 2014, in Week 7, Forbath scored the game-winning field goal in the 19–17 win over the Tennessee Titans.^[34]^[35] He was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week after scoring the overtime winning field goal against the Dallas Cowboys the following week.^[36] He once again scored the game-winning field goal in the 27–24 Week 16 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.^[37] In the 2014 season, Forbath finished converting 31 of 32 extra point attempts and 24 of 27 field goal attempts.^[38]

Forbath played in first career game as a member of the Saints in Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts on October 25, 2015, converting on three-of-four extra point attempts in the 27–21 victory.^[44] On November 1, in Week 8, Forbath ended a record-breaking 52–49 shootout against the New York Giants at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome with a 50-yard field goal as time expired. On November 29, in Week 12, Forbath kicked a career-long 57-yard field goal against the Houston Texans, which is the third-longest in team history.^[45] On January 3, 2016, Forbath kicked a 30-yard game-winning field goal in the regular season finale in Week 17 against the Atlanta Falcons as time expired, his sixth career game-winner.^[46] Forbath finished the 2015 season converting 34 of 35 extra point attempts and 10 of 15 field goal attempts.^[47]

On March 10, 2016, the Saints re-signed Forbath.^[48] Throughout the team's 2016 preseason, Forbath competed with Connor Barth, and the Saints ultimately kept Forbath while cutting Barth.
