Butker’s 69-Yard Kick & Struggles | Kansas City Chiefs News

Harrison Butker just shattered preseason field goal records with a 69-yard boot—tying the unofficial mark for longest kick in NFL history, even if it doesn’t count officially. Despite missing an extra point and a 43-yarder in the same game, his leg strength is undeniable, having already hit 58- and 59-yarders earlier in camp. A reliable veteran of three Super Bowl wins, Butker’s career FG% sits at 88.4%, though last season was his worst yet (16/19). Coach Andy Reid has his back, emphasizing trust and growth. Once a seventh-round Panthers pick who got cut before the season, Butker’s now Kansas City’s go-to kicker—and he’s aiming to bounce back strong this year.
