Texas has had at least one player selected to compete in the NFL Pro Bowl in each of the last 23 seasons, the longest streak in school history. In total, the Longhorns have had 45 different Pro Bowlers representing 24 different teams who have made a total of 120 appearances.

Tucker, an Austin native, played in all 52 games during his four seasons at UT. He made 40-of-48 (83.3%) field goal attempts and was 71-for-71 on PAT attempts to log 191 career points. His .833 field goal percentage is tied for the second-best mark in school history. A 2011 second-team All-Big 12 selection, Tucker's career highlight came during his senior season when he made the game-winning 40-yard field goal as time expired at Texas A&M, the sixth game-winning last-second field goal in school history at the time. Tucker was an undrafted free agent who signed with the Ravens in 2012.

This season, Tucker made 32-of-37 field goals (86.5%) and scored a career-high 147 points in helping the Ravens to a 13-4 record to win the AFC North and earn the top seed in the AFC for the playoffs. He missed only one field goal from under 50 yards this season, connecting on 31-of-32 attempts. He is currently the most accurate kicker in NFL history (395-of-438; 90.2%) and his 395 successful field goals are the 15th-most all-time in the NFL. Tucker had a record-setting 66-yard field goal to win a game in Detroit in 2021.

The Pro Bowl Games in Orlando spotlight NFL Flag Football and a week-long celebration of players skills, with players showcasing their football and non-football skills in unique competitions.

On Thursday, Tucker, Tennessee Titans long snapper Morgan Cox, and Las Vegas Raiders punter AJ Cole won the Kick-Tac-Toe challenge for the AFC.
