Carlson is also a perfect 18-of-18 in 2022. He’s one of 2 kickers in the league with a 100% hit rate with a minimum of 10 field goals attempted, joining Chicago’s Cairo Santos.
Simply put, he does not miss.

Carlson has been in the league since 2018, drafted in the 5th round by the Minnesota Vikings. He didn’t work out in Minnesota before moving to Oakland (later Las Vegas) and becoming one of the top kickers in the league.
Carlson made 92 field goals in college for the Tigers from 2014-2017.
