On the Philadelphia Eagles rooster in 1970 was place kicker Mark Mosely, and punter Bill Bradley. I don't remember either of them being barefoot. I do remember Tony Franklin kicking barefoot for Philadelphia in 1979.
Paul McFadden was the bare foot kicker for the Eagles from 1984 to 1987.

No. But he was the last of the straight-on kickers in the NFL.
Rich Karlis of the Denver Broncos in the 80s was one of the barefoot kickers. Tony Franklin, who kicked with the Eagles, Patriots, and Dolphins in the 80s was another, as was Mike Lansford of the Rams in the 80s.
Rich Karlis kicked barefoot for the Minnesota Vikings in 1989. He set a then-NFL record with seven field goals in a game against the Los Angeles Rams. The Vikings won the game on a blocked punt that went out of the back of the end zone in overtime. It was the first time in NFL history a game ended in overtime on a safety. Karlis also kicked barefoot for Denver from 1982-88, and for Detroit in 1990.
Norm Johnson was the kicker for the Steelers during Super Bowl XXX.
