Wil Lutz is an American professional placekicker for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League (NFL), known for his accuracy and leg strength, particularly on long field-goal attempts.[4][7] Born July 7, 1994, in Newnan, Georgia, Lutz played college football at Georgia State after walking on to the program and went undrafted in 2016 before signing with the New Orleans Saints as a free agent.[3][5] He established himself quickly in New Orleans, setting a Saints rookie record for field goals made and earning a place on the Pro Football Writers Association All‑Rookie Team; over his career with the Saints he became one of the franchise’s most reliable kickers and earned a Pro Bowl selection.[3][2] Lutz is noted for several high‑leverage kicks, including a 58‑yard, game‑winning field goal on Monday Night Football in 2019, and for long streaks of accuracy that included NFL‑level consistency from 50+ yards on multiple occasions.[3][2][5] After six seasons with New Orleans, Lutz joined the Denver Broncos, where he has continued to contribute as the team’s primary kicker and has produced multiple game‑winning kicks and notable long field goals for Denver.[1][7] Statistically, across his NFL tenure through recent seasons he has made the large majority of his attempts, reflecting a career field‑goal percentage that ranks among the league’s more accurate veterans at the position.[7][1] Off the field, Lutz has appeared in community and speaking engagements and is represented for corporate appearances and endorsements.[2] He remains an active NFL player whose immediate relevance is tied to his role as Denver’s placekicker and his ongoing performance in game situations.
