Justin Tucker is the longest-tenured player on the Baltimore Ravens and the last remaining link to the 2012 championship team. However, he has problems both on and off the field that could spell the end of his career with the club.
He stands accused of sexual misconduct by nine massage therapists, revelations that were especially shocking given that he is a church choir singer.
Tucker is also coming off the most inaccurate season of his career, kicking the football, which could end his Ravens career.
If that is true, the Ravens might spend a middle-round draft pick on a new placekicker in April. Here are some of the top prospects in the 2025 draft class.
Ryan Fitzgerald, Florida State
There is no “Wide Right State” curse here, as this Seminole should be the first PK off the boards due to his 91% field goal accuracy this past season.
He may not last until day three of the draft because he embodies the cliche of “day one starter” more so than any other kicker in this draft.
Andreas Borregales, Miami
Speaking of the infamous “wide right” games of the early 1990s, the next best-kicking prospect is on the other side of that rivalry. He was consistently accurate throughout his collegiate career, going 183 of 184 on PATs (99.5%) and 74 of 86 on field goals (86.0%).
According to reports, he has already met with the New Orleans Saints and drawn interest from at least one NFL team.
Caden Davis, Ole Miss
His 83% (24-of-29) FGM is only moderately impressive. However, having a length of 57 is very impressive, and it conveys how he would bring a big leg to any team that drafts him.
Of course, he may be available as an undrafted priority-free agent, given that only a handful of kickers, if any, are drafted each year.
Ben Sauls, Pittsburgh
If/when he gets drafted, the quip will be too easy: “Better call Sauls.” After going 44-for-44 on PATs and 21-for-24 on field goals, Sauls made the East-West Shrine Bowl, where he hit from 55.
It’s safe to say that his draft stock is rising.
