Rain, wind, distance? None of it bothers Colts K Spencer Shrader
Colts K Spencer Shrader has already made six field goals of 50 yards or more, tied for the fourth-most in a single season after just five games
Rain, wind, and distance did not deter Colts kicker Spencer Shrader from kicking five field goals in their 34-22 loss to the Steelers on Sunday. Despite the field being wet with remnants of Hurricane Isaias and a light breeze, Shrader remained focused on his routine. "Wet and a little bit of wind," Shrader said, emphasizing the importance of not letting conditions affect his performance.
Shrader’s success this season includes six field goals of 50 yards or more, tying him for fourth on the Colts' all-time list, and a total of 16 field goals. The 27-year-old kicker overcame a torn ACL and MCL injury in 2025, which initially hindered his progress. Now, Shrader is one of the NFL’s top young kickers, known for his powerful right leg and ability to excel even in challenging conditions.
His mental toughness and ability to simplify the task of kicking have been key to his success. "It’s just about hitting a good ball," Shrader said, emphasizing the importance of not dwelling on the specifics.
