Career
He played in the NFL for a span of 15 years, from 1973 through 1987. Undrafted after his career at Cerritos College and the University of California, Berkeley, Wersching was signed by the San Diego Chargers, where he played for four years. In 1977, Wersching joined the San Francisco 49ers.
When he retired, Wersching held 49ers records for points, field goals and extra points.
He was the twelfth player in NFL history to score 1,000 points in a career, and was the most recent player to have scored from a fair catch kick. Wersching had a unique kicking style.
Upon crossing the out of bound line onto the field to kick a field goal or extra-point, he always looked down, never raising his head until after he kicked. Wersching holds an inactive public accountant"s license.
