One of the most prolific kickers in NFL history is denying claims that he behaved inappropriately during multiple massage treatments.

Justin Tucker, the kicker for the Baltimore Ravens and a former Texas Longhorn, has been accused by six massage therapists of engaging in sexual misconduct in sessions from 2012 to 2016, according to an investigation by The Baltimore Banner.

The Banner’s report goes into detail about the specific actions the 13-year NFL veteran is accused of committing, including that Tucker’s behavior was “so egregious that [therapists] ended his sessions early and refused to work with him again.” Two spas also allegedly banned Tucker from returning.

Tucker responded with a statement on X, in which he called the allegations “unequivocally false.”

In the statement, Tucker goes on to criticize The Banner’s reporting, calling its accusations “desperate tabloid fodder,” and saying, “[he] did not act inappropriately at any point before, during, or after a professional bodywork treatment.”

The 35-year-old kicker has spent his entire career playing in Baltimore after being undrafted in 2012 out of the University of Texas. He won a Super Bowl during his rookie season and is the record-holder for the longest made field goal in NFL history, a 66-yard kick during the 2021 NFL season.
