Jason Douglas Elam (EE-ləm; born March 8, 1970) is an American former professional football player who was a placekicker in the National Football League (NFL), primarily with the Denver Broncos. He was selected by Denver in the third round of the 1993 NFL draft and played 15 seasons with the Broncos and two with the Atlanta Falcons.[1]
A three-time Pro Bowl selection, Elam won two Super Bowl rings with the Broncos and was tied with Tom Dempsey, Sebastian Janikowski, and David Akers for the longest field goal in NFL history at 63 yards. That record was broken by another Bronco, Matt Prater, in 2013 with a 64-yard field goal, which was then broken by Justin Tucker in 2021 with a 66-yard field goal.
