Kickers & Special Teams (4)
Note that over the last fifteen years, there was only one Place Kicker and Punter and no Special Teamers, thus we elected not to feature that average and input based on our elective opinion.

#26 Overall, Justin Tucker: Baltimore Ravens, Place Kicker, #1 Kickers & Special Teams
2023 Pre-Season Rank #22, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #28, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #42, 2020 Pre-Season Rank Rank #50.
Tucker can make a claim as the best Kicker in the NFL over the past ten years, but Place Kickers always face an uphill climb for the Hall. That being said, Tucker was named the 2010s All-Decade Team player, and his five First Team All-Pros could be added to in the future. With a powerful Ravens team, he might get a chance to use his leg to gain a second Super Bowl, and he got his signature moment last year by setting the longest Field Goal record with a 66-Yard cannon. He will be our highest ranked Special Teams player until he retires.

Punters face a long road to Canton but if any current one could get there it is Hekker, who was a First Team All-Pro three years in a row from 2015 to 2017. He was also named to the 2010s All-Decade Team.Stats

#94 Overall, Cordarelle Patterson, Atlanta Falcons, Returner, #3 Kickers & Special Teams
2023 Pre-Season Rank #93, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #80, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #91, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #99.
Patterson is here primarily because he was the All-Decade selection as a Returner. Sadly, more prominent All-Decade returners failed to make it a s even a Semi-Finalist. The four-time First Team All-Pro is in his fourth year in Atlanta after two years with Chicago.
