Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl officials are celebrating 50 years of competition this year and they’re doing it in a big way.
The organization is releasing the top 50 all-time players in I-Bowl history and they’re releasing them in five-player increments. The list was voted on by a local panel of media members, including the Shreveport Times, and I-Bowl representatives.
According to the bowl, this group of 41 through 45 athletes represent the decades of the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2020s.
Anderson, a native of South Africa, is regarded as one of the greatest kickers of all time — spending 23 seasons in the NFL. Kicking in the 1979 I-Bowl during Syracuse's 31-7 victory over McNeese State, Anderson had a perfect day — converting his lone field goal attempt from 40 yards and making all four of his extra point attempts. He was named first-team All-American in 1981 before being drafted in the seventh round of the 1982 NFL Draft. In his 23 seasons in the NFL, Anderson was named first-team All-Pro in 1983, made four Pro Bowl appearances and was the NFL's scoring leader in 1998. Anderson is third in NFL history for points scored (2,434), field goals made (538) and games played (353), and he is also fourth in NFL history for extra points made (820).
