Justin Tucker’s name is synonymous with greatness. He is mostly regarded as probably the best ever kicker in this league, which has earned him a reputation, through consistency and poise, as the standard against which the rest are judged. Since being drafted by Baltimore in 2012, Tucker has set a record, had expectations shattered time and again, and become some kind of favorite among fans.
The thing that really separates Tucker from the rest is when the marbles are counted, he delivers. Whether with a game-winning field goal or one from an improbable distance, of a nature that means something important, Tucker turns them into routine stuff. In 2021, Tucker cemented his legacy with the NFL record for the longest historical field goal-an amazing 66 yards-sealing the Ravens’ win with just seconds left on the clock.
Tucker isn’t wrong. Throughout his career, he has maintained a field goal percentage over 90% in the league-one of the best. The statistics come along with his hard work and charisma enough to make him a great leader on and off the field. He’s a great athlete overall, well loved by teammates and fans, mostly because he also has these famous operatic singing talents.
Justin Tucker is more than a kicker; as perfection and balance are concerned, he is a game-changer. In addition, his legacy continues to build and inspire young players to solidify his place in football history among the all-time greats.
