JustinTucker may be the greatest kicker in NFL history. He has successfully made 90.7% of his field goal attempts. That is absolutely unbelievable and I believe he is on a current streak of 50 in a row. This past Sunday he topped himself. He kicked the longest field goal in NFL history, 66 yards in the last three seconds of the game to beat the Detroit Tigers to convert that 50th straight field goal. Here’s the video of his game winner and record. Notice that at the 24 second mark he makes the sign of the cross.
What
you need to know about Justin Tucker is that not only is he a great kicker, not
only is he a devout Catholic, but he is an opera singer. Here he is singing Ave Maria.
He’s
a baritone. That’s pretty good for a
football player. Here’s one more singing
O Holy Night.
I
think that’s even better. And he looks
really sharp with that beard. Now here’s
one more: the same winning field goal kick with his singing of Ave Maria
overlaid.
Applause,
applause. That’s pretty cool. I have not followed football closely for a
number of years. I had not heard of
Justin Tucker before. Now I won’t forget
him.
