Ravens kicker and 2013 Pro Bowler Justin Tucker took the proverbial "punters are people too" saying and booted it to another planet last Sunday, when he stood on stage with his friends -- members of the punk band All Time Low -- and belched his soul for the world to see.
The man is a beast.

This video most likely does not justify Justin's tantalizing vocals and Ravens fans would pay money to see him perform live. (I know I would love to collaborate on a track with the rockstar.)
Take my money already. Evidently, All Time Low's lead singer Alex Gaskarth and guitarist Jack Barakat were groomsmen at Tucker's wedding in March. According to Ravens.com writer Ryan Mink, Barakat has taught long snapper Morgan Cox how to play the guitar.
This reminds me of the joke I made in my third article for Beatdown last year (the team's depth chart preview):
Specialists (3): Justin Tucker (K), Sam Koch (P), Morgan Cox (LS). Analysis: Tucker and Koch kick while Cox snaps. Sounds like an open mic band performance in Baltimore.
Guess that wasn't too much of a joke.
Can you imagine?
