Who is the best kicker in the NFL?

The 2022 campaign demonstrated a dependable kicker's impact on a team. Making field goals is one of the most important aspect of being a great kicker in the NFL. Justin Tucker excels at that more than anybody else.

He has made 90.5% of his kicks during his career, making him the most reliable kicker in NFL history. Rarely does it occur that a kicker is mentioned as being a certainty for the Hall of Fame, but Tucker is almost there after more than ten NFL seasons.

The Baltimore Ravens kicker has been selected as a first-team All-Pro five times, which is incredibly astounding given that no one else in that position has accomplished the feat three times. Moreover, Tucker is a scoring dynamo who has set an NFL record by scoring at least 130 points in six consecutive seasons.
