Each NFL team’s Olympic candidate

Baltimore Ravens: Justin Tucker, Bobsleigh

We’ve got to show some love for the kickers, right? For the Baltimore Ravens, their Olympic candidate would be none other than All-Pro placekicker Justin Tucker. Tucker might be the only special teams player on this list but that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be taken less seriously. He’s arguably been the Ravens’ top offensive weapon in recent years and is more than cool under pressure.

At the time of this post, Tucker is the most accurate field goal kicker in NFL history. More accurate than any kicker currently or playing or kicker that has played. And it’s not like Tucker has played just a few seasons, he’s been consistent all of his six years in the league. At a position where most NFL teams have inconsistencies, Tucker has been anything but that for the Ravens and they count their blessings every day that he’s on their team.

Right away with Tucker, I think of his size. At just 6-foot-1, he would be perfect to fit in a bobsleigh. Like a jockey, you’ve to be the perfect size to fit and Tucker is that guy. He’s a kicker does it by himself already and would be perfectly fine as a solo bobsleigh. After all, Tucker does have ice in his veins for a reason. Kickers may be criticized heavily in the NFL but Tucker would be in a league of his own in the Winter Olympics this year.

Give the little man some credit, he’d make a great Olympian.
