Friedrich W. "Fred" Steinfort (born November 3, 1952) is a former American football placekicker in the National Football League (NFL) who played for five different teams from (1976–1983). He played college football at Boston College.
When Steinfort won the Oakland Raiders' kicking job just before the start of the 1976 NFL season, he sent the NFL's current all-time leading scorer, George Blanda with 2,002 points, into retirement. In 1979, when he assumed the same role with the Denver Broncos, it was Jim Turner, at that time the NFL's third-leading scorer with 1,439 points that he displaced.[1]
