Daniel Carlson, Not the Only Carlson Kicker in the NFL

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson now has a younger brother in the NFL

It is always very unique when there are family ties in the NFL. Now two kickers get to kick in the NFL.

Anders Carlson now gets to kick in the NFL with his older brother Daniel Carlson. During the 2023 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers sewlected Anders Carlson, a kicker, out of Auburn, in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Both brothers attended Auburn, kicking for the Tigers. Anders Carlson spent a total of five seasons kicking at Auburn, playing in a total of 56 games. He made 79 field goals during his career at Auburn. He also finished his career with a total of 173 extra points. 

Daniel Carlson has proven to be one of the best kickers in the National Football League. He is entering his seventhth season as the Raiders All-Pro kicker. He finished last season as the second-best kicker, behind Ravens All-Pro Kicker Justin Tucker. Carlson  last season made 34 field goals, with a field goal percentage of 91.9 percent. His longest field goal last season was from 57 yards. He went for 11/11 last season on field goals between 30-39 yards. He also went 3/4 last season on all-field goals between 40-49 yards. Carlson has a career total of 597 points scored in six seasons.

This season, there will be a chance to see the Carlson brothers take the field at the same time and kick for their teams. The Raiders play the Packers on Monday Night Football on Oct. 9, 2023. 

It will be unique to see who has the bragging rights between the two brothers, as the best kicker for years to come.
