College career
Catanzaro attended Clemson University from 2009–2013. After a freshman year, in which he only made 14 of 22 field goals, he finished with a field goal percentage of 81.7%, missing only one kick in each of his junior and senior years. He currently plays for the New York Jets and was previously on the Arizona Cardinals.
Arizona Cardinals
In May 2014, the Arizona Cardinals signed the undrafted Catanzaro to compete along with Jay Feely and Danny Hrapmann. On August 25, 2014, Feely was cut, giving the kicking job to Catanzaro.
Catanzaro made his NFL debut on September 8, 2014, against the San Diego Chargers, kicking 2 field goals.
On September 14, 2014, Catanzaro kicked four field goals against the New York Giants. He became first Cardinals rookie kicker since Bill Gramatica (December 2, 2001, against the Oakland Raiders) with four FGs in a game.
On September 21, 2014, Catanzaro kicked a season/career long 51-yard field goal against the San Francisco 49ers, which represents the longest field goal by a rookie in Arizona Cardinals history.
On October 26, 2014, he made his 16th consecutive field goal from the start of his career without a miss, setting an NFL rookie record.
On November 9, 2014, he extended the streak to 17, but missed his second attempt. This effort tied Kai Forbath for the record for most consecutive field goals to start a career.
Catanzaro made 29 field goals in the 2014 season, which is the fourth-most in a single season in Arizona Cardinals history, behind Greg Davis (30), Jay Feely (30), and Neil Rackers (40).
At the end of the 2014 season, Catanzaro established a new franchise rookie record with 114 points, shattering the previous mark of 73 set by placekicker Bill Gramatica in 2001. Catanzaro’s 114 points ranked as the second-highest total among NFL rookies behind only the Philadelphia Eagles’ Cody Parkey (150).
On October 4, 2015, Catanzaro kicked a career-high 5 field goals against the St. Louis Rams.
On September 25, 2016, Catanzaro kicked a career-long 60-yard field goal against the Buffalo Bills in Buffalo. It was only the 16th field goal of at least 60 yards in the history of the NFL.
On October 23, 2016, Catanzaro missed the game-winning field goal in OT against the Seattle Seahawks. The game eventually ended in a 6-6 tie.
New York Jets

On September 10, in the season opening 21–12 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Catanzaro converted a 48-yard field goal and a 52-yard field goal in his Jets debut.
