Evan McPherson mick-FEAR-suhn; (born July 21, 1999) is an American professional football placekicker for the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Florida Gators before being drafted by the Bengals in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL draft, the only kicker to be selected that year.
During the Bengals' 2021 playoff run, McPherson tied Adam Vinatieri for most field goals made in a single postseason, with 14, and set the record for most postseason field goals made without any misses. Due to his clutch kicking, McPherson is nicknamed "Shooter" (after the Happy Gilmore character of a similar nickname) and "Money Mac."
