That would be 116. 99 yards plus 10 for endzone plus 7 for hold.

Is 4 yards enough for the kicker to be standing in bounds at the snap?

Morton Andersen once said 72-74 is what he could do without any pash rush, and also said it's about at that distance that the trajectory puts it right at a D-linesman's upper reach every time.

A free kick is a whole different animal. So if you could have a situation where for some reason there is no defensive pressure and get a free kick.


There's a situation that allows for that. If a player fair catches a punt with :00 left on the clock at the end of the half or game then the receiving team gets a free kick with no rush.

But it's very rare. The other team can avoid this scenario by simply having the QB heave the ball out of bounce as the clock expires on 4th down or they can have the punter squib it so theres no fair catch.

Aubrey with the cowboys could probably kick 75

Aubrey and Little from the Jags can both go 75.
