jim turner -lrb- placekicker -rrb-

james bayard `` jim '' turner -lrb- born march 28 , 1941 -rrb- is a former american football player .
a quarterback and placekicker , he played college football for utah state university and was signed as a free agent in 1964 by the american football league 's new york jets head coach weeb ewbank .
`` tank '' kicked a then record 145 points in the 1968 regular season , with a professional football record 34 field goals .
turner kicked for nine points in the afl championship game win over the oakland raiders , and ten points in the jets 's 16-7 defeat of the baltimore colts in the third world championship of professional football , super bowl iii .
the last of turner 's three field goals in super bowl iii was for 9 yards , the shortest in super bowl history .
at that time , the goal posts were located at the front of the end zones .
they have since been moved to the back , so it 's no longer possible to kick a field goal from this short a distance .
mike clark of the dallas cowboys tied turner 's record for the shortest super bowl field goal in super bowl vi .
in the locker room after the game , on national television -lrb- nbc-tv -rrb- , turner shouted '' `` welcome to the afl ! '' ''
following the afl-nfl merger , turner also played with the denver broncos for another nine seasons and kicked four points in a losing effort in super bowl xii against the dallas cowboys , connecting on a 47-yard field goal and an extra point following a 5-yard touchdown run by rob lytle .
he was inducted into the denver broncos ring of fame in 1988 .
turner finished his career with 304 of 488 -lrb- 62 % -rrb- field goals and 521 of 534 extra points , giving him 1,439 total points .
