Paul Edinger (born January 17, 1978 in Frankfort, Michigan; raised in Lakeland, Florida) is a free agent National Football League kicker. Edinger has played for the Chicago Bears and the Minnesota Vikings.
Edinger is known for his unusual "corkscrew" kicking motion: before the snap he faces backwards in the direction of the opposite side of the field. As the ball is snapped he turns as he steps in a circular pattern toward the ball.
His 56-yard game-winning field goal against the Green Bay Packers on October 23, 2005 is the longest ever in Vikings history. The kick was also his personal career best. In his six NFL seasons (2000-2005), Edinger never missed an extra point attempt.
