• Placekickers have only gotten more accurate from further distances over the NFL's 104-year history.
• In that span, 11 players have made field goals from 62 yards out or longer during an official game.

Placekickers are often the unsung heroes on any given football team.

In the NFL's 104 years of existence, placekickers have consistently grown more accurate while extending their range to longer distances. It's become common to watch professional football's biggest legs kicks field goals from beyond 50 yards, and 60-yard blasts are no longer regarded as the astonishing feats they once were.

Still, there have only been 15 made field goals from 62 yards or further during official NFL contests. Star kickers like Matt Prater and Brett Maher have hit multiple such field goals in their historic careers, while Baltimore Ravens legend Justin Tucker set the all-time record in 2021.
