I'm thinking the NFL changed the rules after Flutie's kick and it's not allowed any longer?
As for the Free Kick -- this, and the drop kick, are carryover's from rugby. In a rugby free kick, the opposing team must stand 10 meters away from the kicker and not oppose the kick. Until 1977, a goal (3 points) could be kicked from a "mark" (similar to a fair catch).
In rugby, a penalty kick or conversion can be taken as a drop kick.
Drop kicking a football is more difficult than a rugby ball due to the football being smaller and more pointed.
