The New York Jets fielded one of the statistically best special teams units in NFL history in 2025, and kicker Nick Folk played a major role in the team’s success in the game’s so-called third phase.

Folk led the NFL in field-goal percentage for a third straight season, converting 28 of 29 attempts and going a perfect 22 for 22 on extra points. His lone miss came on a 55-yard attempt against Atlanta — the same game in which he later drilled a game-winning 56-yarder in windy conditions.

There's no doubt that Folk can still play at the highest level of the sport, but at 41 years old, the 19-year NFL veteran may be ready to hang up his cleats.
