Do you ever wish you could just go on a long vacation and then find out that you’re the best in your field – without having to do a darn thing? Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker experienced that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity this past week.<\/p>\n

Now, to be clear, Butker hasn\u2019t exactly been on “vacation.” In the middle of November,\u00a0he was placed on injured reserve so he could get knee surgery. Not exactly the most relaxing of circumstances.<\/p>\n

Regardless, he hasn\u2019t been on the field for the Chiefs\u2019 past three games and\u00a0probably won\u2019t be back for another two games. Even so, he\u2019s climbed to the top of an important list for kickers.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Chiefs<\/div>\n
\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Heading into yesterday\u2019s action, Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro and Baltimore Ravens kicker Jusitn Tucker were the only two guys better at making field goals in NFL history than Butker. Their respective kicking percentages heading into the day were:<\/p>\n

1. Pineiro:<\/strong> 89.74%<\/p>\n

2. Tucker:\u00a0<\/strong>89.37%<\/p>\n

3. Butker:<\/strong> 89.21%<\/p>\n

However, two misses in the first half for Pineiro dropped him down to third on the list, and Tucker took the top spot. But then Tucker himself shanked two kicks in extremely uncharacteristic fashion. So when the games were all said and done, this is how the “Most accurate kicker” standings stood:<\/p>\n

1. Butker:<\/strong> 89.21%<\/p>\n

2. Tucker:\u00a0<\/strong>89.03%<\/p>\n

3. Pineiro:<\/strong> 88.52%<\/p>\n

So not only did three different kickers hold the heavyweight belt at some point, but the guy who holds it as of right now hasn\u2019t even played in three weeks and will probably have been out of action for at least a month-plus.<\/p>\n

Imagine being so good at something that you\u2019re better than everyone else even when you\u2019re not working on your craft. Some guys have all the talent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
