Succop went 52-57 on extra points and 28-31 on field goals. He nailed seven of nine attempts from 40-49 yards per Pro Football Reference.
His re-signing brings stability to the position that the Bucs haven’t seen since 2010-2012 with Connor Barth according to ESPN Statistics & Informatio via ESPN’s Jenna Laine. The Bucs haven’t had consecutive seasons with the same kicker between then and now, Laine wrote.
Succop came to the Bucs on a $1.05 million contract for one year in 2020 per Laine. He previously played for Tennessee Titans from 2014 to 2019 and the Kansas City Chiefs from 2009 to 2013.
The former seventh-round draft pick from South Carolina owns an 83-percent career field goal percentage and a 96.3-percent career mark on extra points.
