How the Dallas Cowboys' Dan Bailey went from a high school with no goal posts to NFL's most accurate kicker

Southwest Covenant football coach Don White remembers when Dan Bailey decided he would train year round and visit kicking camps in his pursuit to kick field goals at the Division I level.

A decade later, Bailey is the most accurate kicker in NFL history.

In January, the Dallas Cowboys signed the former Oklahoma State All-American to a seven-year $22.5 million contract, $7.5 million guaranteed, including a $4 million signing bonus.

“Kickers need to have ice water in their veins,” White said. “That’s something I saw even here (at Southwest Covenant). He was laid back in a way but when he focused on something he could do just about anything he wanted.”
