Tim Webster (September 11, 1949 – June 30, 2021)[1] was a placekicker in the National Football League (NFL). He had earned a spot on the Green Bay Packers' taxi squad by his performance in the 1971 the preseason despite having been a backup kicker and kickoff specialist in college.[2][3] He was activated by the Packers for the last 4 games of the 1971 NFL season, replacing veteran Lou Michaels as the Packers' placekicker.[4][5][6] During the 1972 preseason Michaels was waived but Webster had to compete with rookie Chester Marcol, the Packers' 2nd round draft pick, to retain his placekicking job.[3] Marcol won the competition and Webster was waived before the start of the 1972 season.[7]
