After watching Justin Tucker kick the game-winning 66 yard field goal as time expired - which I think essentially cements him as the greatest FG kicker ever (if not ever then certainly actively playing now) - it got me wondering whether there is somebody else more clearly atop his or her profession than Justin Tucker. In other words, is there somebody working in an identifiable profession that is significantly better than even the second best person? I mean, I have to assume that if salary and all other factors weren't relevant, every single NFL team would opt for Tucker as their kicker and I don't think it'd be close. In considering my profession I couldn't think of anybody that stands out like that and I struggled to come up with other professions as well. I considered maybe Elon Musk as an entrepeneur in the tech field, Fauci as an infectious disease doctor (though I'm confident such a nomination would be met with backlash), Dr. James Andrews as an orthopedic surgeon, etc. but aren't convinced they wouldn't even be as unaminous as Tucker. So, I'm wondering if anybody can think of others that could be more distinguishable to their respective professions than Justin Tucker.
Sidenote: to be clear, the intent of this thread is merely to identify individuals who are incredibly good at their respective professions, not to somehow suggest certain professions are superior to others. For example, I'm not at all suggesting that Tucker is somehow better and/or more important to society than a person working in public safety, teaching, first responder, etc. Heck, it can probably be argued that some professions have zero societal value (e.g. professional poker player). But that's a totally different discussion and I'm simplytrying to identify individuals so incredibly good at their jobs/professions that they may exceed just how good Tucker is at his.
