A key Ravens rookie just made a loud statement at practice — and the team is turning to creative tech to measure his upside

Loop laced all 11 of his kicks at yesterday's practice through the uprights, including kicks from 56 and 60 yards. Tucker, at his peak, had Baltimore assuming they had points on the board any time they crossed the 50-yard line. Loop may exhibit some growing pains as a rookie, but he's got the leg to deliver the same range.

The Ravens, for their part, are tapping into some unique technology to track just how much juice their rookie kicker's leg has, too. Ravens punter Jordan Stout disclosed that the team is using some golf technology to track the ball flight & trajectory.

"You guys saw (Loop) today, right? Pretty good, huh?! So we have a Trackman now — (it) is used in golf a lot. It tracks the ball speed, tracks the distance, all that. I think that 60-yard field goal was good from 67 and he was hitting into the wind. So that's just like a taste of what he's been doing...he's had days where he's missed a few in a row but every rookie's going to do that. I did that, I still do that. He's going to get over that and he's going to be good."

Loop building confidence throughout the summer is a major development for Baltimore, who is expected to field a high-powered offense once again 2025. On the occasions in which a drive goes sideways, continuing to have an extended range for points will only further amplify the challenge of going toe to toe with the Ravens across a 60-minute contest.

It's great to see Loop making strides towards being the kicking threat Baltimore needs him to be and envisioned for him when they drafted him. And, thanks to a little bit of help from some technology from the fairway, they can have the utmost confidence in how far Loop can drive the long ball, too.
