Joshua Gregory Lambo (born November 19, 1990) is an American former professional football player who was a placekicker for eight seasons in the National Football League (NFL). He is currently 8th all-time in field goal percentage, having made 87.07% of his field goals in his time in the NFL.
Lambo began his athletic career as a goalkeeper in soccer. He was selected in the first round of the 2008 MLS SuperDraft by FC Dallas. Despite being a member of the team for three seasons, he never played in an MLS match. After retiring from soccer at the age of 21, he began playing college football for the Texas A&M Aggies from 2012 to 2014.
He was signed by the San Diego Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2015, playing for the Chargers for two seasons. He was then signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars partway in the 2017 season where he spent the majority of his NFL career. With the Jaguars, he was a Second-team All-Pro in 2019. After missing most of the 2020 season due to injury, Lambo was released by the Jaguars after three games in 2021 after a poor start to the season. He subsequently had brief stints with the Pittsburgh Steelers' practice squad and the Tennessee Titans in 2021 and 2022, respectively.
