Justin Tucker
There are two pivotal records for placekickers that many deem as the holy grail for the position, and they are for highest field goal percentage and longest field goal. This makes sense because it combines the most accurate kicker with the one that has the most powerful leg. Both of these records belong to none other than Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker.
His 90.54% field goal percentage is far and away the highest of all-time in the NFL, and he also booted the longest field goal in NFL history at 66 yards (above). As an undrafted free agent in 2012, Tucker signed with the Ravens and quickly became their top kicker. In his rookie year, he helped Baltimore win Super Bowl XLVII with a 38-yard field goal in the final five minutes. If it wasn’t for number one on the list, Tucker would easily have that spot.
