The NFL record for a field goal is 66 yards, by Justin Tucker. But what is the longest field goal possible?

No, I don't think I will.
Hey if you're interested in some one to create and manage merch for you, I'd love for you to reach out and we can work together.
I bet you Brucie can kick that. Just don't give him any popcorn
or any gay guys
I got the McDonald’s 😂
Only if he stops cheating on his wife with black guys.
It's worth mentioning that Tucker had to adjust his run up to make the 66 yard kick. The only way a kicker could have a better run up would be a fair catch kick. Let's say a ball is fair caught at the receiving team's 35 yard line. Now they are set up for a 75 yard kickoff style kick where the kicker can take a full kickoff run-up. If the record ever goes over 70, I guarantee it will be a fair catch kick
What about the angle? If the distance is longer, doesn’t the angle of initial trajectory make the kicked ball more easily blocked?
Just like HRs, kicks have a preferred launch angle. I think once you go past 60 yards, the angle won't change much. But because of the bonsai approach compared to a 40 yarder, yeah it's more likely to be blocked.
45 degrees gets you the longest possible range in a vacuum. Going shallower than that lands shorter, but goes lower.
In air it's different. Into the wind, shallower winds up going further, but with the wind, the opposite is true.
35° is the preferred launch angle of a home run.
If one day the Ravens come to Mexico City and Justin Tucker is still their kicker, he could easily make a 70yd FG, in 2019 the Chiefs kicker was nailing 60-65 yd FGs in practice. Because realistically speaking Mexico City is the highest altitude the NFL would go and play. Awesome video as always FPV
Also have to take into consideration: when kicking during a game, the snap and spot have to be perfect as well, and the defense has its hands up trying to block you. If you're kicking from _that_ distance, the trajectory might have to be lower so that the ball can travel farther, which increases the likelihood of your kick being blocked.
You are right on the money comparing a FG kick to golf. There’s so many similarities in both their fundamentals.
Plus the YT vid of a golfer hitting a 50 yard field goal is pretty sweet.
Uncle Rico can throw a ball 98 yards. Heck, he can even throw a pigskin over them mountains
His “nices” after saying 69 is the best thing on CZcams. 😂😂😂😂
ya that had me lmao hahaha... well done, fivepointvids
Homeboy on the Colts hit one the other night that would have been good from 66yds...tying the record. And it looked wayyy too easy. 66yds will fall, maybe even this season, though it'll likely be Tucker doing it and if not him then DEFINITELY at Denver.
There's a lot of factors involved in the in-game scenarios but since it's physically possible to boot them over 70, over 70 will eventually be the record.
yeah, in one rams game i think there was one that would've been good by 68, realistically i dont see the record going much over 70, which would happen on some wierd lucky wind coming to the halftime thing.. i dont think a team would try one that long anywhere else
Even if the kick would be good from 66+ yards, you have to remember that the amount of pressure from attempting such a long field goal in a such a critical spot in a game would be monumental in comparison to a run of the mill 40ish yarder mid game. (one assumes this long a fg would be a last ditch effort to win the game with a fg in the closing seconds)
Butker hit a 54 yard FG while only taking one step WITH an injured ankle. I have no doubt 66 yards will fall at some point.
Time is of course a factor. In practice or pre-game, you can back up further and take more steps to run into the attempt, since no one is trying to block you. In a game, it is standard to get snap, hold and kick all within 1.3 seconds. An extra step or two to get some more power means a higher risk of having it blocked.
"Tungsten Leg O'Donahue" lmao, did he play for the NFL's Akron Groomsmen?
Nah he was on the Columbus Mustachioed Marauders
Let those ballmasters at Rawlings make some hand-eggs.
....Scandalous.
I think the only person that realistically could've hit from 70 in game was Sebastian Janikowski, the man had an actual cannon instead of a leg, and when he was in high school he hit an 82 yard field goal in practice. Incredibly video btw
I can 70 in a game it just takes a coach and line good enough to block.
Thanks man I love your channel
Eddy Piñeiro in college hit one from 83 yards in practice (with pads on)
Always a good day when Fivepoint uploads😎😎😎
Doing a free kick from more than 66 yards is possible but rarely even attempted
also...at those lengths the other angle plays into consideration here, the elevation angle, when you are in a chip-shot scenario you can boot that thing as high as you want to make sure the line doesn't block it, but at long distances you need to decrease the elevation angle in order to give the ball as much horizontal clearance as possible, point at which it becomes easier for the line to block i
A goalkeeper might a good shout to hit a long one, they hit goal kicks quite far and fairly accurate
Great video FivePoints! I would love to see a video on the Fair Catch Free Kick Field Goal
This is the weirdest rule in football (aside from a 1 point safety, maybe) and the fact that it’s only been tried a few times in the modern game with kickers like Tucker and Prater in the game is crazy to think about. The running start on those has to factor in massively.
I do think 66 yards is very beatable in one case: a fair catch kick.
I’ve always wanted to see one made. With no OL/DL to kick over, and a running start, I do think 75-80 could very well happen in a game. And it’d only ever happen in a situation (end of half/end of game) where there’s not much downside to trying it.
The longest possible is 119 yards. We are talking all hypothetical data here, so your limiting factor is the size of the field.
This is 8d chess
119 would be longest overall because of field size, but could only be done in a practice or non-competitive situation. 116-117 would be the longest legal in game NFL kick where the kicker could line up properly, as in, on the field of play, and 118 in Canada. But I like your thinking here.
@@MikeyKaos716 agreed. Its actually 130 yards from the back of the 20 yard end zone plus 110 yard field in Canadian Football. Over double the current CFL record for longest field goal!
Another amazingly entertaining video! Loving the content.
Thanks!!
Question: can you kick a field goal if your kicker is out of bounds behind your end zone? i.e. attempting a 100 yard FG would put the kicker 15 yards back or 5 yards out of bound
Personally, I’ve always felt that you should get 2 or 3 points if you put a kickoff through the uprights…
Nick Rose drained an 80 yarder while practicing at DKR while at Texas. I’ve personally kicked with him at the Bubble at UT and he’s hit balls from 75 that were good from 82. The issue is these kicks are without a snap and hold.
Or line. It'd be interesting to put something up to simulate the average height you need on each kick to clear the dline...even when taking kicks off the stand. Come to think of it, I'm surprised something like this hasn't been done. It makes practice kicks more realistic and you can practice long balls while making sure the angle is good in a game.
5:30-a Ray Finkle tribute? #LacesOut
Definitely would have to get the running start that Tucker had to get a shot at it. Not many people could do that without getting rattled in real game time. Great stuff Five Points!
it would be interesting to see some professional goalkeepers try to hit some field goals they have some cannons as legs
Five points missing an opportunity to get a tax deductible trip to Peru
There's one thing you didn't mention that makes longer field goals harder, the angle. The farther away from the goal posts are, the lower the angle you'd have to kick it. The lower the angle, the easier it is for defenders to block the kick.
True. My sophomore year, we played a team in the semifinals who went for a 63 yarder. Matt Szymanski of A&M Consolidated put it up and, because of how low it was, we were all thinking: “There’s no way this is going far enough.” Sure enough, with some wind to his back, that ball just kept going, went through, and was probably good for 70. Mind blowing moment.
Not if its a Free Kick Field Goal they can't be blocked and have a holder just like a FG and if it gets in the goal post the kicking team get 3 points.
@@toastking1649 what the hell are you talking about?
Okay I looked it up. What you are suggesting would be on the list of most unlikely things to ever happen.
So the fair catch field goal, or free kick, is an old nfl rule, where after taking a fair catch, the team has the option to either run a play, or they have the option to attempt a field goal from the spot of the fair catch.
This has happened 26 times in the history of the nfl history and it has worked 6 times.
I don’t think it is really worth talking about.
@@davidnotonstinnett It's definitely still a possibility, lets say a team goes to punt down 2 from their own 20, that would mean the punter would be set up right around the 8 or so, he gets a kick off that the returner is able to fair catch at their own 40, then with about 20 or so seconds left in the game they decide to try it. I mean yes very unlikely but definitely still a possibility and would still count as the longest field goal in NFL history if it was made.
Since the NFL has so many games that are field goal snooze games, yes I am looking at you Denver and Colts, that the emphasis placed on kicking, that position will become more elite. That means more athletes making longer and more accurate kicks as the game progresses. Yes I believe that 66 yard will fall and in the very near future also.
BANG! AND JUST LIKE THAT FPV HAS PUT OUT ANOTHER BANGER!!!
War Memorial Stadium (Wyoming), Walkup Skydome (Northern Arizona), and Falcon Stadium (Air Force) are even friendlier as those stadiums have elevations of 7,200 ft., 6,880 ft., and 6,621 ft.
Well said! Would love to see Tucker hit 70 if he's ever in Mexico city!! This was a fun one to watch :)
You could possibly make it from 100 with a far running start and putting helium in the ball along with all the other advantages you mentioned before even a crowd cheering you on could help your mindset depending on the person a kicking tee holding the ball instead of some guy with his finger helps too
8:12 “In my home country, I could’ve been a minor league soccer player…”
Idk if this would work with a football but I've seen it be done with a soccer ball but I think if you trained, had a good bounce, had the wind then I genuinely think somone could drop kick a football 100 yards which idk if that's even legal cuase no one has attempted anything like that that gives you way more leverage and it's basically a punt but if you could get the math right you could probably do it
The snap, hold and kick have to perfect while all in perfect conditions.
2:57 Elevation's Air Density makes a difference in kick distance
4:17 Wind almost always hinders kicks rather than helping kicks
5:17 Machine Kicker is superstrong but super inaccurate
5:57 Cornelius Donohue, 6' 6" tall
6:50 Technique.
7:08 56 MPH to hit an 80YD FG At Sea Level
7:43 93 Is The Limit, 66 Is The Most Challenging FG that would actually potentially be kicked, anything further back is punt territory unless your coach wants to attempt a record-break instead of trying to win the football game.
💯
I wonder if it would be possible to kick a football so it spirals through the air like when it's thrown by a QB
I wonder if a tee like the one used in the CFL would make a difference.
Additionally I think we may see a fair catch kick that is further as it’s a free kick so no chance of it being blocked.
Tees help. I think the college record is 69, back in the days they could use a tee. tees are banned now.
If the Free Kick was more common in the NFL perhaps a higher incentive like a 9 point Free Kick FG instead of a 3 pointer. Someone would've hit from 70-75 already.
What about a Fair Catch Kick? The rules are basically like a kickoff (full running start, ball on tee at line of scrimmage, defense 10 yards back), but it counts as a field goal!
What is the longest lolmets of all time
You can also only attempt that distance at the end of the half otherwise you are risking giving the ball back in your own territory if you miss.
There is a major aspect of the kick missing: the backspin of the football. Nice video though, Adam.
There is a circumstance which could change the record: a fair catch kick. In this rare situation, a kicker *does* get a run-up, and the defense is nowhere to be found. It could well result in a field goal of longer than 66. If any circumstance would allow for a 70- or even 80-yarder, it would be that.
Fair catch kick.
The angle of the field goal plus wind projection is so difficult to do on sea Level or mountain level
Sebastián Janikowski would kick from the opposite goal-line at FSU during practice.
Nice
Uncle Rico can throw a ball 98 yards. Heck, he can even throw a pigskin over them mountains
None of this will matter once we start playing football on Mars.
My kicker "Golden Toe" Johnson once hit an 88 yarder in NCAA 14
But the wind could be arbitrarily strong in theory, as could a stadium in the future be built arbitrarily high, allowing you to potentially make arbitrarily long field goals, with just 1 catch. You can't make an attempt that's any further back than a play starting on your own 1-yard line.
In Kansas you can find a highschool kid kicking 90+ a couple times a year. Huge gusts (65mph) can carry the ball. Stadium has to be open, and wind at the kickers back.
How much oes wind speed/direction play into it? I'm assuming every tet would be done in a dome to eliminate veriables right?
But I just want to see someone go wild and kick a 70+ yarder in Denver or Mexico City, with a huge tailwind helping it because, you know, reasons.
I mean, OK State nailed one during a an earthquake, so...after that, 66+ yards doesn't seem so hard when the ground's stable
Another reason you wouldnt take a FG from that far is because if you miss the other team gets the ball on your side of the field.
College record is 69 ... actually, an EX soccer player who gave it up ... to chase a girl he saw in the stands at a soccer game. Her college didn't have a soccer team, so he tried football. The twist? They were still together 40 years later.
Harrison butker hit a bomb in a practice with no pads once I forget how far exactly but it was crazy to watch
The other thing that helped Tucker make a 66 yard field goal: It was against the Lions. The sports gods hate the Lions.😂
I'll give in game a 70 yard max
Raycons are what I choose. Raycons are Raycons are Raycons money Raycons. Brought to you by Raycons.
The fact the holder on that broll let go of the ball pissed me pff
so many damn Cannabis references in one video.
If you do a fair catch kick no one stands in front of you and you can get a running start
Joey Slye almost broke the record that very same week. Justin Tucker is by far the greatest of all time, but Joey Slye has one of the best legs the league has ever seen. Give him a little more accuracy, i could see a 72 yarder in mile high.
“So I can ignore my college age son asking for more money”
As a 24 year old currently going back to school this made me feel for my own poor father
Sorry Dad 😂
seriously tho from raycon to manspcape when our we going to get a real advertisement like blue chew because last I heard it really works better then viagra with no prescription needed just like I heard raycons are better then beats and manscape is better then off the shelf razor and shaving cream.
all jokes aside I love your channel and have for the last 2 years or more best believe I've been subscribed with bell on for all of that time and that I wish nothing but the best for you because you keep it more real and funny then anyone else on youtube when it comes to the specific content that you upload YOU THE MAN AND WE LOVE YOU IN MILWAUKEE WISCONSIN
Man you could kick field goals to the moon from that stadium in Peru lol
A live kick with a rush, a bunch of 6'6" guys trying to block it, a snap that has to be handled and placed cleanly, wearing game equipment, and in a real stadium with a real crowd, I'd be able to believe a 70 yarder. It is true top kickers can nail 70 yarders in practice not exactly "reliably", they usually miss, but they can certainly do it with some degree of regularity. So 70 is doable. Much longer than that is straining credulity. It would be cool to try to perfect conditions to even get a 90 yard through the uprights. Utterly unrealistic in a game though.
You should cover last nights Houston vs Memphis game
he was too salty with the Lolmets
What about doing a drop kick. As the ball bounces up, wouldn't it have some momentum before it is actually kicked?
Do each major leagues arenas/stadiums for the 2022 season
One factor you didn't mention is all the extra equipment they were in game. All those 75+ yards kicks the lickers weren't wearing equipment which ways you down
Deestroying's kick would have very likely been blocked, if you look at the trajectory, though.
It would be interesting to see if he could have made the kick if he placed a 8-10 foot tall obstruction infront of him that he had to get the football over.
I find it interesting you didn’t mention Ove Johanssen’s kick in the 1970’s
My favorite part of the Tucker 66 yard field goal is that it shouldn't have happened because of a delay of game penalty that just wasn't called.
I hate being a Lions fan.
Calling it now: There will be a 68 yard FG made by the end of the '23-'24 season...
Every kicker can hit from 80 during warmups...maybe that's because they don't have Bobby Bueche trying to block a kick
Nice.
On a fair catch, you can do a runup field goal, so 80 yards is possible
One more wild card possibility is fair catch kick.
You might want watch some CZcams clips of Australia Rules Football. Kicking goals (6 points) from distances of up to 85-90 metres (roughly 90+ yards or up to 300 feet) are not that uncommon.
I've never heard of this deestroying guy, but it's cool to know that he's got quite a long kick. Perhaps he could have made it in the NFL and actually made a lot more money doing that than doing CZcams videos but I'm sure he's having a lot more fun on CZcams and not feeling a bunch of pressure from coaching and fans and a team depending on him although let's be honest I'm pretty sure having a successful CZcams channel puts a lot of pressure on you anyways.
I want to see the FG record broken on a "fair catch kick" lol
There's an "Almost Impossible" video about field goals.
With the best kicker, wind, and at mile high I would say 73 yards. People have hit longer in practice but its practice for a reason.
Cool
Longest field goal humanly possible is 109 yards, easily achieved by anybody with a copy of Madden, the right sliders, and a few minutes to waste.
Yeah the risk of going for it on a 65+ is you turn it over in your own half.
Butker, Tucker, Justin Reid (yes you read that right), and a few others might be able to crack 70.
I feel like Deestoyibg video was cap.
I know of a certain NY team that could use a powerful kicker that could kick that far, only because their offense can't get the job done.
Lol
70 is possible, but would a coach go for it?
5:41 - Of course you don't stand a chance when your idiot dad doesn't know you're right footed.
lol the Gramatica boys were bad at real "football".
To be fair, one of the two at sea level was done by a guy with a 9 iron for a right foot.
Ight time to hit a 110 yard field goal
