next three years. He led the team in scoring in 1969 and was selected All-Ivy League in his senior year. Professional career When Szaro returned to the United States from working in Europe, he initially signed with the Philadelphia Bell of the WFL in 1974 before being signed by the New Orleans Saints in 1975. His best year was 1976, when he led the NFL in field goal accuracy, making 78 percent of his attempts. Szaro was a left-footed kicker, but could kick almost as well with his right foot. He once made a right-footed field goal in a game when an injury prevented him from swinging his left foot. Szaro was cut by the Saints after the team selected Russell Erxleben in the first round of the 1979 NFL Draft. Erxleben was a combination place-kicker and punter for Texas, and New Orleans hoped to free up a roster spot by having just one specialist. He ended his career in 1979 after a short stint with the New York Jets, bothered by persistent injuries with his foot and hamstring he retired from football to pursue business interests.
