He signed with Denver and boy am I hoping he gets a chance to do the kicking duties. Sounds like he will punt and kick off but if he has any accuracy why not just carry 1 kicker/punter?

By the way in the video he hits a 70 yard FG at sea level, could we possibly see a 80 yard FG with the wind at the end of a half in Denver?

End of halfs/games sure. Any other point of the game could be risky for field position issues.

Kicking a game winning field goal from inside your own 40 would be insane.

Couple thoughts:

- Havard Rugland, I have no idea why he never got more of a chance.

why not just carry 1 kicker/punter?

I wonder what the upper limit is length wise for a FG. Is 100 yards possible without busting the ball?

Tons of NFL kickers can duplicate these videos.

Let me know when someone can do this while getting it over a line of NFL athletes trying to block it.

Jason Hanson used to warm up from 70 as well.. I imagine not so hard for many nfl kickers.

And high school kids... Are high school kids. Kicking it that far isn't hard. Kicking it that far over freak athletes is.
