30 NFL records that could be broken this season

9. Younghoe Koo, Career field goal percentage

Yup, we’re going with two kicker records in this article. Justin Tucker currently holds the record for best career field goal percentage of all time. Of course, he does. Tucker is the only kicker in history who’s hit more than 90 percent of his kicks with at least 100 attempts. Number two on the all-time list is Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo.

He’s made 89.1 percent of his kicks over his career. This is a wild turn of events, after Koo went from cut in his rookie season as a stud rookie (making just 50 percent of his kicks) to missing an entire year after that to joining the Falcons as one of the best in the league. Now, Koo might break the record for field goal percentage (for now).

Koo would need to go something like 37 of 38 to break Tucker’s record (with Tucker staying at the same percentage). Koo is good enough to succeed at that clip.

Obviously, this is a long shot because it calls for Tucker to miss at the same percentage as he did last season. Tucker might be falling outside his prime, but a kicker’s prime is extended by proxy. So, Koo has to outkick him this season. If he can, the record could be his.
