The Carolina Panthers are holding on to one of the NFL’s secret weapons: Kicker Eddie Piñeiro. He is, entering Week 12 of the 2024 NFL Season, the NFL’s All-Time leader in percentage of made field goals. He assumed that position after the previous leader, the Baltimore Raven’s Justin Tucker, continued a career worst season by only making one of his three attempts yesterday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Piñeiro has a career 89.381% field goal conversion percentage against Tucker’s now 89.348%. Almost all of the top ten are active kickers, per Pro Football Reference, and Piñeiro, a five-year veteran of the league, is the youngest on the list.
