How Chargers' Cameron Dicker is most accurate kicker in NFL history image

Cameron Dicker doesn't miss.

It sometimes takes people by surprise, but the Los Angeles Chargers' kicker is the most accurate placekicker in NFL history.

Dicker entered Sunday having made 100-of-106 field goals in his NFL career.

Then he made his first attempt against the Dolphins, too, to get to 101 for 107.

That's 94.4% for Dicker in his career.

Dicker needed to surpass 100 field goal attempts in his career to officially be on the list. He was already technically the best percentage, but he wasn't eligible for the list until reaching that landmark.

Justin Tucker previously held the record at 89.1%.

Dicker could always fall down the list, but for now, he's No. 1.

Eddy Pineiro is third on the list, followed by Harrison Butker and Chris Boswell to round out the top five.

It's a remarkable journey for Dicker, who was cut multiple times to start his NFL career before latching on with the Chargers.

Now, the Chargers would likely never get rid of Dicker. He may have another decade-plus of making field goals for them.

And if he keeps this up, he'll go down as an absolute all-time great among kickers.
