Just imagine Wing being able to drop kick the ball through the up-rights around the 50ish. Counts for 3 points. Not too sure about the rules surrounding the drop kick, but it is a possibility.

I'm pretty sure the kid could do it. Would definitely have a few heads turn.

I never heard of the free kick from the tee on a fair catch until a few years ago. I was at a high school game they actually attempted it, but the kick went wide.

free kick from a tee for a FG? How does that work? Never seen that done personally - but it would be fun to watch.

The one I saw was pretty funny. The other team has to line up so many yards away, so the only thing they can do it jump up and down and wave their arms.

how does that work? If you fair catch it's youre ball, couldn't you kick it anyway? Wouldnt that be like a 60 yard field goal?


And a drop kick? How does that work? Bounce it off the ground and kick it? Wouldn't you just tee it up then? Or can you kick further on a drop kick?

I really believe this only applies to High School Football. It would not be applicable in College.

Drop kicking is legal in college.

Are you saying you can fair catch you're own punt? Then turn around and kick a field goal?
