Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is heading into the regular season with very lofty goals.
Butker, who hit a 66-yard field goal during warm-ups over the weekend, wants to break a significant record this fall.
During a recent media session, Butker revealed that he wants to break Justin Tucker’s record for the longest field goal in NFL history. In order to do that, he needed to drill a field goal from 67 yards out.
Butker isn’t just thinking about making a 67-yard field goal, he wants to attempt a 70-yarder at some point this year.
“I mean, the conditions have to be right,” Butker said. “It’s got to be warm, probably some wind at your back. … But I feel like I have the distance for it, definitely.”
There are plenty of fans who would like to see Butker attempt a 70-yard field goal.
On the flip side, there are people who believe he has no chance of making a field goal from 70 yards out.
Since 2017, Butker has made 20-of-28 field goal attempts from at least 50 yards.
Do you think Butker should get the chance to kick a 70-yard field goal this season?
