NFL players are usually men of many talents.
However, more often than not, their interests and skills are related to sports.
Some of them ran track, played basketball or baseball, wrestled, or something like that.
Many others had different academic interests and also decided to pursue their degrees while staying in the league.
However, despite there being literally hundreds of players in the NFL, there’s one who stands alone: Justin Tucker.
The Baltimore Ravens kicker has a somewhat hidden talent, and he’s as good at it as he is at kicking field goals.
As shown by MLFootball on Twitter, Tucker is an excellent Opera singer, and he actually spends the offseason singing to raise money for multiple charities.

Tucker attended the University of Texas to be the Longhorns’ kicker and pursue a major in communications.
He wound up graduating with a BA in music before entering the NFL Draft, but he wound up going undrafted.
The Baltimore Ravens signed him to their practice squad, and he wound up winning the job after his performance in the preseason.
Fast forward to today, and he holds the NFL records for career field goal percentage (90.2%), and the longest field goal (66 yards).
He’s also an eight-time All-Pro (5 first-team, 3 second-team), a 7-time Pro Bowler, a Super Bowl champion, and a member of the league’s 2010s All-Decade Team, and some think he will go down as the greatest kicker of all time, even ahead of Adam Vinatieri.
