A Super Bowl champion kicker who has been automatic for Philadelphia since arriving off Cincinnati's practice squad.
Jake Elliott has been the Eagles' answer at kicker for a decade, a Memphis product who never actually played for the team that drafted him. Instead he built a career in Philadelphia defined by clutch kicking on the league's biggest stages, including multiple Super Bowl runs.
Path to the league
Elliott set school records at Memphis with 445 total points and a perfect 202-of-202 on extra points, plus a 56-yard field goal that stands as a program record. The Cincinnati Bengals drafted him in the fifth round in 2017, but Philadelphia signed him off Cincinnati's practice squad that same year after an injury to their starter.
Career highlights
Elliott set the NFL rookie record for longest field goal at 61 yards and was part of the Eagles' Super Bowl LII championship team. In 2021 he made 30 of 33 field goals for a franchise-record 90.9 percent success rate, cementing himself as one of the most accurate kickers of his era.
2025 season recap
Elliott helped push the Eagles to another Super Bowl appearance, going 4-of-4 on field goals and 4-of-4 on extra points in a 40-22 win, extending his career postseason field goal streak to 9-of-9 in Super Bowl play. It was another testament to his reputation as a kicker who does not blink on the sport's biggest stage.
