The\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0made Harrison Butker the highest-paid kicker in\u00a0NFL\u00a0history when they signed him to a four-year, $25.6 million extension this past offseason, and he will be looking to prove he was worth the money.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs were able to get the win in Week 2 against the\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals\u00a0after a 5-yard field goal from Butker went through the uprights with no time left. But the team’s special teams coordinator, Dave Toub, thinks Butker could do even more special things this season, saying he could break an NFL record.<\/p>\n

In a recent press conference, Toub said that he has seen Butker hit a 68-yarder with no wind assisting him in practice. The record is 66 yards, which was made by Justin Tucker back in 2021 to beat the\u00a0Detroit Lions.<\/p>\n

Toub thinks Butker will have a chance to get that, and he thinks he could make it easily, as he says he has seen him make a 73-yard kick with wind at his back. There is no video evidence of these claims, but Toub is not the first to say this about Butker.<\/p>\n
