Have this guy on about ten of my scout teams.
Philo picked him up two years ago.
Thought the same thing....not as impressed now.
Pretty sure it's because soccer players are pansies.
I am pleased to say that never occurred to me
Sounds like a keeper.

Let's not think too hard about this. If he even makes the NFL, they'll have him concentrate on a single foot to be the best he can at one.
I admire your ability to think clearly at a time like this. I can barely control myself. You're right. We need to step back. Slow down a little.
Have you ever even played soccer? The sport can be brutal. Don't think there aren't any vicious hits or tackles. If you are ignorant about the sport, it would be in your best interest to remain silent.Soccer InjuriesAdebisi said:
Slow down. It's soccer.

Why? If you had a guy who bat 300. left and 240 right you don't think it would behoove you to develop the other as well?The fact that his 'kicking style' is unorthodox (ie soccer style and not 'nfl prototype' style) is interesting. It could likely mean that he could be even more sneaky with his approach on a fake right deep kick that actually is a onside with the left foot kickoffs. I mean he is a kicker, how much else does he have to work on in the week
Two words:Russell Erxleben. First round draft pick of the New Orleans Saints. Set the NCAA record for longest field goal ever, was one of the nation's leading punters. He was the Saints kicker AND punter.Kicked barefoot too. (Let's see Yang do that).Sebowski said:
No.
That never seems to work out for whatever reason. I remember Tony Meola was with the Jets one preseason, and someone in my league drafting him with his last pick.PolishNorbi said:
Why are we talking about a High School kicker? I mean, in most leagues, the top kickers are STILL virtually worthless...so why would anyone talk about "stashing" one?
I would assume that most of the people in this thread are just kidding around; at least that's what I'd like to think.Why are we talking about a High School kicker? I mean, in most leagues, the top kickers are STILL virtually worthless...so why would anyone talk about "stashing" one?
You've obviously never seen this kid play.Why are we talking about a High School kicker? I mean, in most leagues, the top kickers are STILL virtually worthless...so why would anyone talk about "stashing" one?
He's a gamechanger. That's why.Why are we talking about a High School kicker? I mean, in most leagues, the top kickers are STILL virtually worthless...so why would anyone talk about "stashing" one?

I hear he has an 82% onside kick rate.
This and only this. I kicked in High School, and I am ambipedal or whatever they call it. I could kick about the same distance with my right or left foot. I'm actually a lot like this kid, right down to the Asian last name and growing up in the south, except I couldn't kick nearly as far. My range was ~45 yards or so. I was more accurate left footed, so I took 95% of my FG's with my left foot. I'd take kick-offs with whichever one I felt like. The benefit was we had an on-sides kick play where we lined up a bunch to the right, and a few on the left, and I'd line up dead center over the ball. I could kick to either side by changing my run-up accordingly. We only used it once, and it worked, but we still lost. The funny thing is, I learned to kick left footed because when I was a kid playign soccer, I used to always not stretch and pull my right quadricept, so I started kicking lefty and it just stuck.
The big question is: can he tackle?
