After being drafted in the sixth round by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2025 NFL Draft, Tyler Loop had the challenging task of succeeding legendary kicker Justin Tucker. During his rookie season, Loop successfully made 95.7 percent of his extra points and 88.2 percent of his field goals. He was flawless on all 21 of his field goals from within 39 yards.
However, Loop faced challenges with long-range kicks, converting just one of four attempts from beyond 50 yards, a successful 52-yard kick.
On Wednesday, the Ravens’ special teams coordinator, Anthony Levine Sr., highlighted Loop’s efforts in enhancing his long-range skills during training camp. Notably, on Tuesday, Loop succeeded in kicking a 57-yarder, along with distances of 53 yards and 49 yards, and several field goals under 45 yards.
We have the confidence in Tyler Loop to go out and make any kick from anywhere on the field,” Levine shared through the Ravens’ official website. He has shown his capabilities during training camp.
Loop ended the previous season with a disappointing miss, pushing a 44-yard attempt wide right, leading to a 26-24 loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This miss cost the Ravens a playoff spot in the AFC North.
Following this setback, Loop expressed his determination to return to the field and prove himself. He acknowledged the importance of moving on from the past, referencing the team’s “one-minute rule” to quickly overcome mistakes, though he acknowledged the sting of a season-ending miss.
Despite his rookie challenges, the Ravens trust Loop to improve long-distance execution. His successful day at training camp is a positive step. His progress will need to continue into the preseason for consistent performance.
