Gramatica went to LaBelle High School of LaBelle, Fla. but did not play football until senior year after growing up playing soccer in Argentina. He hit 8 out of 10 field goals (longest 52 yds), 22 PATs, and sent 38 of 49 kickoffs out of the end zone for touchbacks.


In college, he attended Kansas State University where he made 54 out of 70 field goals and 187-192 PATs gaining a school record of 349 points in four seasons. He also set the single-season school record with 135 points. This earned him the nickname "Automatica Gramatica". In 1996 he was granted a medical redshirt. Gramatica was a first-team All-America choice by the Associated Press both his junior and senior years and received the Lou Groza Award in 1998. Notably, he was 3-3 on field goals from 50+ yards his junior year, and as a senior kicked a phenomenal 65-yarder against Northern Illinois – the longest field goal in college football history kicked without a tee. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in social science in May 1999. Also of note was his characteristic jumping in celebration after every successful field goal, however he stopped this after his brother, Bill Gramatica tore his ACL while playing for the Arizona Cardinals and celebrating in a similar manner after kicking a field goal.

Gramatica was respected in the NFL as one of the best kickers in the game, but in 2003 he had a noticeable drop in accuracy with field goals of 40 yards or longer, a trend that continued in 2004 until he was ultimately released by the Buccaneers. He was shortly signed by the Indianapolis Colts in December of 2004 and was used exclusively for kickoffs. Gramatica later revealed in an interview in September of 2005 with news-press.com that he believed the reason for his struggles was because of torn muscles in his lower abductor and lower abdomen, which he had surgically repaired during the offseason. However, Gramatica was not done with rehabilitation until after the season started, and did not sign with a team for the 2005 season. On April 6, 2006 he signed a contract with the New England Patriots as a replacement for the departing Adam Vinatieri but was released on August 23, 2006 in favor of rookie Stephen Gostkowski. On September 22, 2006 he signed with the Colts to back up Adam Vinatieri and was released on October 4, 2006 but re-signed on October 8, 2006.
