Since being picked up in 2022 to replace numerous injured kickers that season, kicker Cameron Dicker has been a great addition to the Los Angeles Chargers, and his list of accomplishments keeps growing.

Not to mention, in 2023, he took the job of the previous starting Chargers kicker, Dustin Hopkins.
Because Dicker’s been that guy for the Los Angeles Chargers, in 2024, he signed a four-year contract. As the 2025 season is around the corner, and kickers are getting even more talented by the year, can Dicker help the team get even further?
Los Angeles Chargers Kicker Cameron Dicker In 2024
Mostly when I write about Dicker, my notes consist of things like “field goal made” as rarely does he miss. According to ESPN, in the regular season, he had a 92.9% field goal percentage, and his longest was 59 yards. In the regular season, he attempted 42 field goals, making 39 of them.
Editorial Director Eric Smith of the official Los Angeles Chargers site said during Day 2 of mandatory minicamp that those 39 field goals, which amounted to 150 points, “set a Chargers record… and his 150 total points were the most scored in a single season by a kicker in team history.”
Out of field goals of 50+ yards, he made nine of the 11 attempted, on par with his 2023 stats, where he missed two from that range. He had career highs in all yard categories in 2024.

Besides the fair catch kick he made in Week 16 of the Broncos game before halftime, another bright spot for Dicker this past year was the Cardinals game in Week 7. Dicker made all five field goals attempted in that game, which were all the points the Los Angeles Chargers scored during the entire matchup.
However, Dicker has some things to work on.
In Week 14 against the Chiefs, Daniel Popper of The Athletic noted that Dicker at the start of the fourth, “mishit the kick. It did not reach the landing zone. The Chiefs’ drive started at the 40-yard line. If Dicker had just blasted the kick through the end zone, the Chiefs would have started at the 30. Maybe those 10 yards make the difference.”
Dicker got a penalty for that, and at the end of that quarter, the Chiefs kicked a field goal, winning the division.

Additionally, he had a blunder in the postseason game against Houston. In the fourth quarter, Dicker’s field goal attempt was blocked, and Dicker batted the ball as it came back toward him, and as Austin Knoblauch of the LA Times relayed, Dicker’s action “kept the ball alive.” Dicker was eventually knocked down in that play by the Texans’ defense while Texans cornerback D’Angelo Ross got the ball and ran it in for two points. It was one of those plays where things should’ve been cleaner and Dicker just made a mistake.
What’s In Store For Dicker In 2025?
Smith, on day two of Los Angeles Chargers mandatory minicamp, reported that Dicker was coming out strong with nine of ten field goals made.
If Dicker can stay consistent and reliable in the field goal area and polish some of the rough edges to his game, we should see another dominant year from him.
Dicker is one of those players that’s so automatic, you don’t really worry about him, and let’s hope that’s the case again.
