Inside The Star
Brandon Aubrey is quickly becoming one of the NFL’s most dangerous weapons.
Here’s how the Cowboys’ kicker’s first three seasons stack up against Justin Tucker, Adam Vinatieri, and other legends—and why he could be on pace to break NFL history.
The Dallas Cowboys have discovered a game-changing star—and he’s not a quarterback, wide receiver, or defensive end. Brandon Aubrey has turned special teams into one of the Cowboys’ biggest strengths.
Through two weeks of the 2025 season, Aubrey has been flawless, drilling 6-for-6 field goals and 6-for-6 extra points.
Against the New York Giants in Week 2, he delivered his best performance yet: 4-for-4 on field goals and 4-for-4 on extra points, single-handedly scoring 16 of Dallas’ points.
His clutch 64-yard field goal in the final seconds of the game was one yard short of his career long (65 yards), a moment that energized the team and fanbase.
Aubrey’s career total now stands at 331 points, all accomplished in just three seasons. His accuracy and ability to connect from deep are putting him on a trajectory that rivals the early careers of the greatest kickers of all time.
To fully appreciate Aubrey’s start, here’s how he compares to the first three seasons of NFL legends—and how close he is to Harrison Butker’s all-time three-year scoring record.
Aubrey’s career field goal percentage sits near 90%, putting him in the same conversation as Justin Tucker for efficiency.
Even more impressive is his ability to hit from long distance—25-28 from 50+ yards in his young career. His perfect start to 2025 proves he’s not just accurate but ice-cold under pressure.
Under head coach Brian Schottenheimer, Dallas has fully embraced Aubrey’s leg as a weapon.
The Cowboys are no longer just hoping to score touchdowns—they are playing smart, knowing Aubrey can reliably convert from 50 yards and beyond.
This changes how Dallas calls plays on 3rd and 4th down, giving them a legitimate advantage in field position battles.
Brandon Aubrey is already changing how the Cowboys play the game. With 323 career points and a perfect start to 2025, his production is setting a new standard for early-career kickers.
