Not only is he a fan and league favorite, kicker Brandon Aubrey stands out as a massive beacon of consistency and excellence in the NFL. Despite the team’s challenges, Aubrey’s remarkable performance offers fans a compelling reason for optimism and hope. In 2024, Aubrey demonstrated remarkable leg strength and precision, successfully making 40 out of 47 field goal attempts for an impressive 86% success rate. He also nailed all 30 of his extra point attempts which is indicative of his accuracy and ability to remain consistent. A standout moment came when he set an NFL single-season record by hitting 14 field goals from 50 yards or more, including a franchise-best 65-yarder against the Baltimore Ravens.

Aubrey’s stellar performance did not go unnoticed. He earned his second consecutive Pro Bowl selection and was named a second-team All-Pro in 2024. His consistent excellence has positioned him as one of the league’s top kickers, leading to his ranking as the No. 1 fantasy football kicker heading into the 2025 season. He not only scored 157 points last year, which ranks the most in team history, he also the second-most from the season before at 150 points.

Aubrey now enters the final year of his contract but has already expressed a strong desire to remain with the Cowboys, stating he is “absolutely” interested in signing an extension no matter what. His dedication to the team and consistent performance make him a valuable asset as the Cowboys look to solidify their special teams unit. The Cowboys have a habit of finding absolute gems when it comes to the kicker position and Aubrey is no different. Both sides desire a long-term relationship and will look to seal deal this year.

Outlook for 2025
This is one of the easier outlooks to predict thanks to Aubrey’s proven track record and commitment to excellence. Cowboys fans can look forward to continued reliability in the kicking game and that includes kickoffs. His ability to convert long-distance field goals and maintain his composure under pressure will be crucial as the team navigates what could see some closely matched contests.
