When the Atlanta Falcons signed Younghoe Koo late in the 2019 season, few imagined he would go on to become the most accurate kicker in NFL history. Koo’s rise to greatness has been incredible to watch over the last four seasons in Atlanta.
Regardless of whether or not the offense shows up each week, Koo’s consistent and clutch kicking has helped this Falcons team stay in countless games. For his career, Koo has converted on 146 of 162 field-goal attempts (NFL-record 90.1 percent).
Success hasn’t always come easy for the 29-year-old. Koo’s first NFL gig with the Chargers in 2016 didn’t last long after he missed a few potential game-winning kicks.
NFL Films released a video compilation showing the ups and downs of Koo’s career thus far. Watch below, as shared by NFL Films’ Twitter account:
