Even though he wasn't picked in the draft, Tucker impressed the Ravens during the preseason, earning the starting kicker spot over Billy Cundiff.
In his first NFL season, Tucker achieved a remarkable 90.9% field goal accuracy, the seventh-best in the league for a rookie, setting the stage for his successful career.
Tucker’s career trajectory only continued to rise, with major milestones including making two fourth-quarter field goals in the 2013 Super Bowl, leading the Ravens to victory over the San Francisco 49ers. His field goal percentage peaked at 97.4% in 2016, earning him a second All-Pro selection. With a career-long 66-yard field goal in 2021, Tucker set the NFL record for the longest field goal.
Tucker’s popularity extends beyond the field. He has become one of the most recognisable faces in the NFL, starring in many advertisements for brands such as Royal Farms, Walmart and Dr Pepper, reported The Baltimore Banner.
