Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo was one of the best at his position in the NFL in 2019, and his career year earned him an All-Pro second team selection by the Associated Press.

Lambo finished behind Baltimore Ravens kicker Josh Tucker in All-Pro voting but was the only other player beside Tucker to earn double-digit votes.

Lambo had arguably the greatest special teams season in Jaguars' history in 2019 He set the franchise record for field goals made in a season with 33, breaking Mike Hollis' record 31 field goals from the 1997 and 1999 seasons. Lambo is the only Jacksonville player to make the All-Pro team in 2019.

In 2019, Lambo was 33/34 on field goals and 19/20 on extra points. This was the first season Lambo ever made more than 26 field goals in his five-year career. He was 4/4 from 50 yards or more and had a long of 56 yards. 

Lambo's 97.1% field goal percentage was the best of his career, surpassing the 95% field goal rate Lambo recorded in 2018. Since signing with Jacksonville in October, Lambo has been the model of consistency and clutch moments, the most recent of which came on a game-winning 33-yard field goal in Week 4 against the Denver Broncos at Mile High Stadium.

Jacksonville's beloved kicker hasn't shied away from recognizing not only how good of a season he had in 2019, but how good he has been since becoming a Jaguar. After Week 17's win against the Indianapolis Colts, where Lambo was 3/3 on field goals, Lambo spoke on where he thinks he stands amongst kickers.

"I’m super, super pleased with the season. I missed one too many, so hopefully the media will realize that All-Pro isn’t a fan vote and hopefully I’ll get some recognition," Lambo said. "Obviously, Justin Tucker is the best there is, but not this season.”

"I’ve missed four times in three seasons. I don’t think there’s anybody better than that right now," Lambo said. "A lot of it is Doug [Marrone] bringing me in, giving me a shot and saying, ‘Hey, you want it? Go make it,’ and having that confidence in me."
