Groza was professional football's career kicking and points leader when he retired after the 1967 season. He played in 21 seasons for the Browns, helping the team to win eight league championships in that span. Groza's accuracy and strength as a kicker influenced the development of place-kicking as a specialty; he could kick <a href="/wiki/Field_goal" title="Field goal">field goals</a> from beyond 50 yards (46 m) at a time when attempts from that distance were a rarity. He set numerous records for distance and number of field goals kicked during his career. </p><p>Groza grew up in an athletic family in <a href="/wiki/Martins_Ferry,_Ohio" title="Martins Ferry, Ohio">Martins Ferry, Ohio</a>. He enrolled at <a href="/wiki/Ohio_State_University" title="Ohio State University">Ohio State University</a> on a scholarship in 1942, but after just one year in college, he enlisted in the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Army" title="United States Army">U.S. Army</a> and was sent to serve in World War II. Groza deployed as an army surgical technician in the <a href="/wiki/Pacific_War" title="Pacific War">Pacific theater</a>, where he stayed until returning in 1946 to play for the Browns. Helped by Groza's kicking and play at offensive tackle, the Browns won the AAFC championship every year between 1946 and 1949, when the league disbanded and the Browns were absorbed by the more established NFL. Cleveland won the <a href="/wiki/1950_NFL_Championship_Game" title="1950 NFL Championship Game">NFL championship</a> in its first year in the league on a last-minute field goal by Groza. Groza set NFL records for field goals made in 1950, 1952 and 1953. <i><a href="/wiki/Sporting_News" class="mw-redirect" title="Sporting News">Sporting News</a></i> named him the league's <a href="/wiki/Most_Valuable_Player" class="mw-redirect" title="Most Valuable Player">Most Valuable Player</a> in 1954, when the Browns won <a href="/wiki/1954_NFL_Championship_Game" title="1954 NFL Championship Game">another championship</a>.

He was part of a 1964 team that won another <a href="/wiki/1964_NFL_Championship_Game" title="1964 NFL Championship Game">NFL championship</a>. Groza retired for good after the <a href="/wiki/1967_NFL_season" title="1967 NFL season">1967 season</a>. Later in life, he ran an insurance business and served as a team ambassador for the Browns. He was elected to the <a href="/wiki/Pro_Football_Hall_of_Fame" title="Pro Football Hall of Fame">Pro Football Hall of Fame</a> in 1974. In 1992, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission named the <a href="/wiki/Lou_Groza_Award" title="Lou Groza Award">Lou Groza Award</a> after him.
