Tucker was presented the award by his former Baltimore Raven teammate Ray Lewis. The two shared a cool moment on the stage.

The kick had just enough juice to break Matt Prater’s previous record of 64-yards.
Tucker’s record-setting kick was just one highlight of a fantastic season. He made 35-37 field goals to go along with a perfect 32-32 mark on extra points. Tucker was named to his fifth All-Pro and Pro Bowl team for his efforts.
The former Longhorn is widely regarded as one of the best kickers in NFL history.
