Mason Crosby, the longtime kicker for the Green Bay Packers, has officially retired from the NFL after a distinguished 17-year career. He announced his retirement on February 4, 2025, during “The Mason Crosby Show” on Milwaukee’s 105.7 The Fan radio station, expressing gratitude for his time with the Packers and the support from fans and teammates.
Crosby, 40, was drafted by the Packers in the sixth round of the 2007 NFL Draft out of the University of Colorado. He became the franchise’s all-time leading scorer, amassing 1,918 points over 16 seasons with Green Bay (2007-2022). His record includes 395 field goals, 43 of which were from 50 yards or more, and 733 extra points.
In 2023, Crosby had a brief stint with the New York Giants, appearing in three games before sitting out the 2024 season. He holds the distinction of being one of only two players in NFL history, alongside Detroit Lions kicker Jason Hanson, to play in over 250 regular-season games and score more than 1,900 points with a single team.
Crosby’s career highlights include 12 game-winning field goals and a pivotal role in the Packers’ Super Bowl XLV victory in 2011. He also holds the franchise record for consecutive games played (258) and is tied for the second-most seasons played in team history.
On March 7, 2025, Crosby returned to Lambeau Field with his family for his retirement press conference, reflecting on his journey from a small-town Texas native to becoming an integral part of the Packers’ legacy.
Throughout his career, Crosby was known for his resilience and consistency, earning the nickname “Mr. Clutch” for his ability to deliver in critical moments. His dedication to perfection and his significant contributions both on and off the field have solidified his place as a Packers legend.
