POUGHKEEPSIE, New York – Following an outstanding 2022 regular season, Marist graduate Jason Myers and the Seattle Seahawks are ready for the NFL playoffs.
 
Myers is in his eighth season in the NFL as a placekicker and his fourth with the Seahawks. With a record of 9-8, Seattle is the #7 seed in the NFC. The Seahawks will play second-seeded San Francisco in the first game of the NFL Playoffs, which will take place on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. Eastern. The game will be televised on Fox.
 
On the last day of the NFL season this past Sunday, Myers' 32-yard field goal in overtime lifted the Seahawks to a 19-16 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. This result, coupled with the Detroit Lions' victory over the Green Bay Packers, secured a playoff berth for the Seahawks.
 
Myers' clutch kick capped an outstanding 2022 regular season. He was rewarded with his second career trip to the Pro Bowl and was named First Team All-Pro by the NFL Players' Association. These honors came after a season in which Myers led the NFL in scoring with 143 points. He converted 34 of his 37 field goal attempts and 42 of his 43 extra point tries. He also had 54 touchbacks on kickoffs.
 
Myers is a 2013 Marist graduate who was a four-year member of the football program from the 2009 through 2012 seasons. He set the program record for longest field goal in 2011, which came from 49 yards out. That mark was equaled by Luke Paladino in 2019.
 
Myers started his NFL career in Jacksonville. He kicked for the Jaguars from 2015-17 before enjoying a Pro Bowl season with the New York Jets in 2018. He then signed a multiyear contract with Seattle in March of 2019.
