Baltimore Ravens rookie kicker Tyler Loop isn't in the easiest spot.
He has to fill the shoes of the NFL's all-time most accurate kicker, Justin Tucker, who Baltimore released amid the NFL's ongoing investigation of off-the-field sexual misconduct.
Loop, a sixth-round pick out of Arizona, is now the favorite to kick for the Ravens.
What's his approach?
“Just figuring out what’s going to work to be successful in Baltimore and make kicks and win games,” Loop said, via the team’s website. “What that looks like is just stacking days and learning and taking input and just competing every day. That’s what I’m going to do. That’s what I’m ready for.”

Loop kicked full-time for four seasons at Arizona.
In 2021, he made all 12 of his field goal attempts. Then it was 18-for-21, 19-for-24 and 18-for-23 the next three seasons.
His increased misses were due to Arizona allowing Loop to stretch out his range.
His collegiate long came from 62 yards out.
Loop was the second kicker drafted in the sixth round in late April, and now he'll get a chance to win the job in Baltimore.
His career has a chance to be a success, but at least on the field, he's got big shoes to fill.
