Biography

  • Seventh-year kicker enters his seventh season with the Chiefs in 2023.
  • Originally entered the NFL as a seventh-round pick (233rd overall) by the Carolina Panthers in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Career Highlights:

  • His 765 points are the third-most all-time points in franchise history. He is only the fifth player in franchise history with 500 or more career points. His 763 points are fourth-most in league history through a player's first six seasons.
  • Passed the 100-point plateau for five-consecutive seasons (2017-21). He was eight points shy in 2022 due to a high ankle sprain that forced him to sit for four games. Butker's five seasons with 100 or more points are tied for the second-most in franchise history with K Jan Stenerud (1967-71).
  • Passed K Nick Lowery (20) for first in franchise history for most field goals made of 50+ yards in a Chiefs kicker's career with 23. 
  • During his return in Week 6 of the 2022 season, Butker kicked the longest field goal recorded at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium with a 62-yard boot. His 62-yard field goal against the Buffalo Bills is his longest field goal of his career and is also the longest field goal in franchise history.
  • Butker kicked two field goals and a point after to force three overtime games in the 2021 season. The point after came against the Chargers (12/16/21). The two field goals were versus the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Divisional round (1/23/22) and versus the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship game (1/30/22). 
  • In the game vs. the L.A. Chargers (9/20/20), Butker converted two former career-long 58-yard field goals (one in the third quarter and one in overtime) to tie Lowery for the longest-made field goal in Chiefs history, at the time. During this game Butker also notched his 16th-consecutive game with a made field goal setting the franchise record for most consecutive games with a made field goal, passing K Lawrence Tynes who scored a field goal in 15-consecutive games from Week 15 of 2004 to Week 13 of 2005.
  • During the 2019 season, Butker reached 147 points setting a new record for the most points by a kicker in a single season, trailing only Priest Holmes' 162 points in 2003. 
  • Butker converted a field goal in 14 consecutive games in 2019, tying for the longest individual streak in a single-season in franchise history with Pro Football Hall of Fame kicker Jan Stenerud with 14.
  • In the game vs. Minnesota (11/3/19), Butker converted 54- and 44-yards field goals in the final three minutes of the game allowing the Chiefs to tie and then win the game. The last kicker in NFL History to kick a game tying FG of 50+ yards and a FG of 40+ yards to put his team ahead for good with both coming in the final three minutes of the fourth quarter was Buccaneers K Martin Gramatica on Oct. 27, 2002.
  • With 38 made field goals during the 2017 season Butker holds the franchise record for most field goals made in a single season.
  • Butker tallied 426 career points in his first three NFL seasons, the most by any player in NFL history in their first three seasons.
  • During his rookie season he recorded 142 points for the 2017 season, ranking first in franchise history, at the time, for most points by a kicker in a single season, passing Lowery's previous mark of 139 set in 1990.
  • In the game vs. the Buffalo Bills (11/26/17), Butker converted a 45-yard field goal, giving him 23 consecutive made field goals, which ranks first for the most consecutive field goals made in franchise history.

Postseason Career Highlights:

  • In six postseasons, Butker owns 117 career postseason points, extending his franchise record. He has 54 career PATs to go along with 21 made field goals, both sitting as the top marks in franchise history.
  • With 117 points in the postseason, Butker has the 10th-most points scored in the postseason by any player in NFL history. He ranks seventh amongst kickers. 
  • In his first four postseason campaigns Butker scored 65 career postseason points, passing RB Damien Williams (60) for the most playoff points scored in franchise history, at the time.
  • In Super Bowl LVII in Arizona, Butker kicked a 27-yard field goal giving the Chiefs a 38-35 advantage with eight seconds left. His kick gave the Chiefs their third Super Bowl win in franchise history.
  • In Super Bowl LV in Tampa Bay, Butker scored three field goals giving him 11 made field goals in the postseason passing PFHOF Jan Stenerud (nine) for the most playoff field goals made in franchise history. His three field goals in the game tied for the most field goals made in a single postseason game in team history.
