Justin Tucker wasn’t drafted out of college. The University of Texas product was signed by the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent in what is now looking like a fantastic move.
Why is it a brilliant move? Well first off, he nailed 97.4% of his field goal attempts this year, while also not missing an extra point. Over his career, Tucker has hit 89.8% of field goal attempts, the most accurate mark in NFL history, and has missed a total of zero extra points.
On top of that, he can hit field goals from 75 yards out. Yes, 75 yards! He showed that power off in Pro Bowl practice on Wednesday in Orlando.

While Tucker claims he hit it from 75 out, the NFL is calling it a 70-yarder.

Well that’s just a dandy of a kick whether it’s from 70 or 75. Anyway, here’s Tucker singing opera music, demonstrating that his lungs are just as prodigious as his right leg..
