New development in Justin Tucker situation after Ravens' draft pick image

For years, Justin Tucker made a habit out of hitting clutch kicks for the Baltimore Ravens.

But he could be on his way out very soon.

The All-Pro kicker had the worst season of his legendary career last year, but that's not the only reason Baltimore may want to move on. 

The NFL is investigating allegations that Tucker engaged in inappropriate behavior with sixteen massage therapists from 2012-2016. 

This was first reported by the Baltimore Banner.

In the sixth round of the NFL draft, the Ravens selected kicker Tyler Loop out of Arizona. 

NFL insider Adam Schefter had some insights to share on the pick and what it means for Tucker's future.

With the investigation ongoing, this pick could indicate that there could be trouble for Tucker. 

At the very least, Baltimore is preparing for the future with the potential that Tucker may not be a part of it. 

Who is Tyler Loop?

Just like Tucker, Tyler Loop has a big leg of his own. His longest field goal at Arizona was 62 yards in a win over Houston. 

The NFL record is 66 yards, set by Tucker. 

Loop kicked at Arizona for four years. He went 18 for 23 on field goals his senior season.
