For the first time in franchise history, the Ravens have drafted a kicker. The Ravens used a sixth-round pick on Arizona’s Tyler Loop in a move that gives the franchise some insurance with the future of current kicker Justin Tucker uncertain.
Tucker is currently the subject of an NFL investigation after a series of stories by The Baltimore Banner revealed that Tucker has been accused of sexual misconduct by 16 massage therapists in the Baltimore area. The Ravens have been monitoring the NFL’s investigation, and they’ve said that they will follow the league’s lead before deciding on the kicker’s future.

Cutting Tucker would create $4.2 million of cap savings if he’s deemed a post-June 1 release. While the addition of Loop certainly doesn’t guarantee that, at the very least, Loop gives the Ravens another option at the position.
Loop punted for Arizona in 2020, but took over as the team’s kicker in 2021. In four seasons, he made 83.8 percent of his field-goal attempts, setting a school record, along with a 98.4 percent conversion rate on extra point attempts.
In his final college season, he made 18-of-23 field-goal attempts and 23-of-25 extra-point tries. He has a huge leg, which was evident in 2024 when he made 6-of-9 field goals from 50-plus, including a school-record 62-yarder in Week 11.
The New England Patriots selected the first kicker of the 2025 NFL Draft a few picks prior, tabbing Miami’s Andres Borregales. Borregales’ 94.7 percent field goal percentage was the fifth-highest in FBS in 2024.

Prisco’s NFL Draft 2025 grades for each team, including best and worst picks: Bucs earn one of three ‘A’ marks
Getty Images Since taking over as the general manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2014, Jason Licht's draft picks have been as good as any in the league, yet Licht doesn't get the due he deserves for his drafting prowess.It's time he does. Licht's Bucs had another outstanding draft this year, one of the best in fact. Tampa Bay received one of the three "A" grades I gave out this year. The other two went to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs, both teams doing some impressive things over the seven rounds, including Jacksonville's bold move to go up to No. 2 to get Travis Hunter, the best player in the draft. These draft grades are immediate, so I know they are infuriating for some. But our bosses love them -- and you eat them up. So we do them.But […]
Yankees remove Devin Williams from closer job ‘for right now’
NEW YORK — Righty reliever Devin Williams won’t be closing games for the New York Yankees for a while.“For right now,” manager Aaron Boone said Sunday morning, “I’m going to take him out of that role.”It was the expected move after Williams blew Friday night’s save in a 4-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, continuing his early struggles. Through 10 appearances, Williams is 0-2 with an 11.25 ERA and four saves.AdvertisementHe’s given up 10 earned runs.
