The AFLWA gets it straight from the league's players
AFLWA PLAYERS' POLL: WEEK 10
Remy Hamilton might lead all kickers in scoring, but Clay Rush is the one players would rely on most to make a critical key, according to the latest Arena Football League Writers Association (AFLWA) poll.

Rush, who kicks for the Colorado Crush, received 27.3 percent of the vote by players, who were not allowed to vote for the kicker on their team. He is second in the AFL among kickers with 95 points, having made 59 of 67 extra points and 12 of 22 field goals. His longest field goal this season was from 62 yards.

Brian Gowins of the Orlando Predators was next with 18.2 percent of the vote, and Hamilton of the Los Angeles Avengers and Steve Videtich of the Columbus Destroyers tied with 13.6 percent.

Gowins has made 43 of 51 extra points and 6 of 12 field goals, giving him 61 points. Hamilton's 116 points come on 47-of-53 on extra points and 23-of-27 field goals. Videtich has converted 48 of 51 extra points and 7 of 16 field goals for 69 points.
