Ranking the NFL’s beautiful, boy band-worthy kickers, based solely on looks

This week’s absurd power rankings have something for NFL fans AND One Direction lovers.

Generally speaking, most NFL players have more to worry about than how they look in a headshot. Between practice and rehabbing from the toll of each game, you can’t expect running backs or linemen or safeties to take a lot of time to get their hair just so.

But kickers? Kickers have LOADS of free time. And that’s why this week’s Absurd Power Ranking puts all 32 franchises in order of how much their kicker looks like he could be in a boy band. (Before you accuse me of pulling unflattering photos, these all came from NFL.com. Not my fault if somebody didn’t show up ready for picture day).
