27. Kai Forbath, K (2006-10)

Helping keep the excellent special teams traditions alive, Forbath was solid as a rock for the Bruins during his UCLA tenure. Named the Lou Groza Award Winner which goes to the best kicker in college, Forbath was a fixture for the Bruins for four years after his redshirt year. Starting in 2007 he nailed 25-30 FG attempts and was perfect on extra points. As a senior he buried a 51 yard game winning FG against Oregon State and was named the Pac-10 special teams player of the week.

After being signed by the Dallas Cowboys as an UDFA, Forbath has bounced around the NFL but seems to have found a home with the New Orleans Saints in the Super Dome.
