8. Kicker Adam Vinatieri: Hitmonlee

Entering his 21st NFL season, Adam Vinatieri remains one of the best kickers in the NFL and has arguably the greatest leg in the league’s history.

He sounds an awful like the infamous Pokémon Hitmonlee, who uses his coiled springed legs to destroy his opposition when furiously kicking.

In fact, the sole of Hitmonlee’s kicking foot turns into a diamond, destroying its enemy upon impact. Something that Vinatieri knows all too well, having kicked too many game-winning field goals to count throughout his ongoing Hall of Fame NFL career.
