The Baltimore Ravens have written the final chapter of their offseason activities. Mandatory minicamp came to a close last Wednesday, and while the team has some work to do as they enter their summer break, there were many positives to take away from the last month.
One of those was the run that Tyler Loop went on. He had an excellent start at OTAs and finished Baltimore’s offseason program with a standout moment. It was a big kick that showed a ton of growth for the 24-year-old.
Loop capped off minicamp is the most perfect way possible. With all eyes on him, he wrapped up practice with a 40-yard field goal that cancelled after-practice meetings.
After struggling in the clutch in his rookie campaign, particularly in that Week 18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, that kick shows Loop might be growing more prepared for pressure-packed situations.

I’m not saying that Tyler Loop is going to suddenly become this fantastic kicker that has numerous Pro Bowls in his future. However, he showed plenty of promise this offseason. He was consistently good, ending the stretch with not only a clutch make but a perfect day on three attempts.
Loop has the potential to be a reliable kicker in Baltimore. To be fair, if you ignore the way that his rookie year ended, he had a fine introduction to the NFL. The Arizona product went 30-for-34 on field goal attempts and 44-for-46 on extra point attempts. That’s pretty decent consistency for a first-year kicker.
Still, there were obvious issues. Along with his clutch miscues, the ability from distance also failed to show up. His troubles from 50-plus were undeniable. He was just 1-for-4 from that range, and some of those were bad misses. With the way NFL kickers are hitting from distance these days, that was pretty disappointing to see, and he must play better this upcoming season.
In the same breath, though, Loop has proven he can hit from that spot on the field. He drilled a long of 52 yards in 2025 and boomed a 63-yarder through the uprights at OTAs. It’s just all about finding a rhythm from there.
Sure, it’s just an offseason showing, but it’s a darn good one for Loop. The way he capped it off could carry that momentum he needs to bounce back and put together a very strong 2026 campaign.
