Nicholas Alexander Folk (born November 5, 1984) is an American professional football placekicker. He played college football for the Arizona Wildcats, where he received first-team All-Pacific-10 honors, and was selected by the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League (NFL) in the sixth round of the 2007 NFL draft. Folk was named to the Pro Bowl as a rookie and played for the Cowboys through the 2009 season. He played for the New York Jets from 2010 to 2016, becoming the franchise's second-leading all-time scorer. Following an unsuccessful stint on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2017, Folk spent a year away from football before pursuing a comeback in 2019 with the Arizona Hotshots of the Alliance of American Football (AAF). He returned to the NFL later that year as a member of the New England Patriots and co-led the league in scoring in 2021 (tied with Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson). Folk played for the Tennessee Titans from 2023 to 2024.
