Baltimore Ravens star Justin Tucker is the most accurate kicker in NFL history with a 90.2 career field goal percentage. The five-time first-team All-Pro solidified his position among the all-time greats with an NFL-record 66-yard field goal inside the Detroit Lions' Ford Field in 2021. Tucker's blast bounced off the crossbar and through the uprights to lift the Ravens to a 19-17 victory.

While Tucker sits on the NFL's kicking throne, there are many coming for his spot. Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey matched Tucker's 66-yarder in the first half of the Cowboys' 2024 preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders. While Aubrey's kick didn't count in the NFL record book, it showed Tucker's No. 1 spot isn't exactly safe.
