Justin Tucker a New England Patriots type of kicker.

Yes, we are seriously starting this off with a kicker.

If you are a New England Patriots fans, you know how much Bill Belichick values his special teams players, particularly kickers and punters.  That may be the most frustrating part of Belichick’s team building philosophy, but season after season, it is special teams plays that end up having an impact in big games.

So, it would be very Belichick to pick who he has called the best field goal maker in the history of the NFL in Baltimore Ravens All-Pro kicker Justin Tucker.

Let’s remind you, this is coming from a coach who have coached both Adam Vinatieri and Stephen Gostkowski, so this is the highest of praise for Justin Tucker who has been clutch for the Ravens over his career.

To be fair to Belichick, he has placed the best kicker label on both Vinateiri and Gostkowski at different times, but following a 2019 season in which that reliability he always had at kicker was in flux, the Patriots coach certainly would yank Tucker from the Ravens roster if he had a chance.

Clutch, reliable and experienced, Justin Tucker is one of those special team favorites Bill Belichick would absolutely love to coach.
