He finished his second professional season converting 65 of 69 extra point attempts and 24-of-27 field goal attempts.[25]

2020 season
During a Week 2 23–20 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, Butker made all three field goal attempts he had in the game, including a game tying 30-yard field goal as time expired in regulation and the game winning and franchise record tying 58-yard field goal in overtime. The longest field goal record was broken in 2022 while Butker was injured.[34] For his performance, Butker was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week.[35] After his fifth missed extra point of the season in a Week 7 game against the Broncos, Butker set a career high for missed extra points in a season despite only attempting 24 extra points up to that point.[36]

2021 season
Butker was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on December 20, 2021[38] after testing positive for COVID-19. Due to the NFL's COVID-19 protocols, he missed the Chiefs' Week 16 game against the Steelers. It was the first game of his career Butker missed.[39] He was activated on December 29, 2021.[40] In the 2021 season, Butker appeared in 16 games and converted 47-of-49 extra point attempts and 25-of-28 field goal attempts.[41]
During the season-opening 44–21 road victory over the Arizona Cardinals, Butker made a 54-yard field goal and all four extra point attempts despite suffering an ankle injury.[43] The day before the Chiefs' Week 2 game against the Chargers, he was ruled out due to the ankle injury.[44] Butker was inactive for the Chiefs next four games.[45] In his first game back from the injury against the Bills, Butker broke the Chiefs' franchise record for longest field goal for the second time (his previous record of 58 had been broken while he was injured) with a 62-yard field goal. It was the 15th field goal in NFL history 62 yards or longer.[46] In his first five games after returning from injury, Butker missed an extra point or a field goal in each of those games, the longest such streak of his career. Butker ended the streak making all three field goal attempts and all three extra point attempts in Week 11 against the Chargers. Due to the injury, with the missed time and the injury causing kicking issues, Butker had what was statistically the worst season of his career. Butker had a career low field goal percentage (75%), a career high in misses (6), and a career low in attempts (24). In the AFC Championship Game, Butker hit a 45-yard game winning field goal to defeat the Cincinnati Bengals 23–20 to send the Chiefs to Super Bowl LVII. In the Super Bowl, Butker kicked a 27-yard game winning field goal with 11 seconds in the fourth quarter to give the Chiefs a 38–35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles to win his second Super Bowl in his career.[47]

His six field goals made set a career high.[49] Butker finished the season making 33-of-35 attempts, tying a career low for missed field goals and setting a career high in field goal percentage with 94.3%. Butker made all 12 of his attempts from over 40 yards, including his second successful field goal from over 60 yards. Butker did not miss a single extra point attempt for the second time in his career. Butker's performance in the 2023 season moved him back into second place in NFL history in career field goal percentage (minimum 100 attempts).[50]
In Super Bowl LVIII, Butker broke two Super Bowl records: longest made field goal in Super Bowl history (57) and most career field goals in the Super Bowl (9).[51] The Chiefs won in overtime 25–22. The win gave Butker his third Super Bowl victory and his second consecutive win.[52] The win made Butker the fourth kicker in NFL history with three Super Bowl wins.[53]
Career field goal percentage (minimum 50 attempts): 89.1%[59]
Personal life
Butker is married with three children.[60] He is the co-founder, president, and chief operating officer of MDKeller.[61][62] One of the companies that Butker co-founded as a subsidiary of MDKeller is Shepherd's, which specializes in custom menswear.[62]
Butker is a devout Traditionalist Catholic and attends the Latin Mass. Butker has publicly spoken out against Traditionis custodes, saying that he felt that he and other traditionalist Catholics were "persecuted" in the Church.[63] He serves on the Board of Directors of Regina Caeli Academy, an accredited[64] pre-kindergarten–12 classical homeschool hybrid academy in cities in the United States and United Kingdom.[65]
In April 2024, he spoke with Republican Senator Josh Hawley at the "Stronger Men's Conference" about how his deep-rooted faith grounds him in his NFL career.[66]
Allegations of antisemitism
In May 2024, Butker gave a commencement address at Benedictine College.[67] The speech was met by applause and a standing ovation from the audience.[68] Among other topics, he blamed first-century Jews for the death of Jesus while criticizing a provision of a bill condemning antisemitism. Butker said, "We fear speaking truth, because now, unfortunately, truth is in the minority. Congress just passed a bill where stating something as basic as the biblical teaching of who killed Jesus could land you in jail".[69]
Butker was the commencement speaker at his alma mater, Georgia Tech, in 2023. He received widespread attention[72] for his exhortation to "get married and start a family." [73]
During Butker's 2024 address at Benedictine College, he said:
I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you. How many of you are sitting here now about to cross this stage and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career? Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world...I'm on the stage today and able to be the man I am because I have a wife who leans into her vocation...and embrace one of the most important titles of all: homemaker. I can tell you that my beautiful wife Isabelle would be the first to say that her life truly started when she started living her vocation as a wife and as a mother.
Several articles highlighted that Butker's mother, Elizabeth Keller Butker, has been a clinical medical physicist at Emory University and holds two university degrees.[a][78] His speech, which included other personal and political opinions, was met with controversy.[b][83] On May 15, 2024, in response to Butker's comments and the ensuant backlash, NFL senior vice president and chief diversity and inclusion officer Jonathan Beane told People in a written statement: "His views are not those of the NFL as an organization. The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger."[84]OutSports wrote, "One of the worst parts of this NFL player's awful speech is that he quoted a Taylor Swift song before telling women they should be homemakers and serve their man's career."[79] On his New Heights podcast, Travis Kelce said he did not agree with "just about any" of Butker's views but did "cherish" him as a teammate.[85]
Others were supportive of Butker's remarks. Hunter Estes, communications director for Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves, tweeted a portion of Butker's message, "Be unapologetic in your masculinity. Fight against the cultural emasculation of men. Do hard things. Never settle for what is easy", and added, "This is indeed a brave and rebellious message for our current age. The world needs more good men like Harrison Butker."[86] Tavia Hunt, the director of the Kansas City Chiefs Women's Organization and wife of Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt, wrote on Instagram, "Affirming motherhood and praising your wife, as well as highlighting the sacrifice and dedication it takes to be a mother, is not bigoted. It is empowering to acknowledge that a woman's hard work in raising children is not in vain."[87]
In a March 2024 interview with the Catholic News Agency, Butker condemned the Catholic Church for burying the recently deceased transgender rights advocate Cecilia Gentili. Butker wrote a letter to Cardinal Timothy Dolan encouraging him to take a "strong stance" against the 2024 Kansas City parade shooting. Butker said in the interview, "We need men that are leading saying, 'This is not right. This is wrong.' As Catholics, we will not accept this."[91] In his 2024 commencement speech to Benedictine College, while advocating for a more conservative form of Catholicism, he called Pride Month an example of the "deadly sins".[92] Former Kansas City commissioner Justice Horn criticized Butker, writing that he "doesn't represent Kansas City nor has he ever. Kansas City has always been a place that welcomes, affirms and embraces our LGBTQ+ community members."[93] President and CEO of GLAADSarah Kate Ellis wrote that Butker's comments were "inaccurate, ill-informed and woefully out-of-step with Americans about Pride".[94]
Political beliefs
Butker's 2024 address to the graduating class of Benedictine College covered a number of his political beliefs; in the speech, Butker condemned President Biden's political stance on abortion, saying, "Our own nation is led by a man who publicly and proudly proclaims his Catholic faith, but at the same time is delusional enough to make the sign of the cross during a pro-abortion rally."[95] He also criticized Biden's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. He spoke about other issues, including IVF, surrogacy, the LGBTQ community and Pride Month, the concept of women in the workforce, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and a bill condemning antisemitism.[96][97][98]
