2016 NFL Longest Field Goals Leaders

This lists each kicker's longest made field goal of the season. Distance is measured from where the ball was kicked to the goal posts, which stand 10 yards behind the goal line, so it is the yard line plus 17 when the ball was snapped.

Very long kicks are rare, so one make can separate kickers; it says more about leg strength and opportunity than about consistency. In 2016, Chandler Catanzaro (60 yds) led NFL kickers in longest field goals, ahead of Matt Bryant (59 yds) and Matt Prater (58 yds). 36 kickers qualify. The median qualified kicker had 53 yds.
