Kicker Names

[7Samurai13]

Kentucky just got a kicker with the name Chance Poore.

Could that possible worse than Pitt's last kicker Chris Blewitt?

2015 Cotton Bowl between Michigan State and Baylor. Chris Callahan was the kicker and continued to play another year after that.

He tweeted to Tony Lippett, the guy who laid him out, " great game my friend. Where did you come from?"

And also tweeted "My mom said I would never get hit..."

lol @ any kickers period.

I'd just assume them take the goalposts down and make teams go for TDs all the time.

That said, even I had to admit that Garo Yepremian's "I keek a touchdown" statement is an all time classic.

Kickers aren't football players. Neither are punters. If I was an HC at a major program I would recruit a punter and kicker every year and tell every them every year you are expendable, and you have a one year scholarship. If you do well you will earn another year, fail and we bring in someone who can get it done.

As long as you get 3 points for kicking a field goal, then kickers are football players. It's a bitch trying to keep your wits about yourself in front of 80,000 screaming fans and 11 guys lining up to stop a kick......especially when those goal posts are 40+ yards away. Kickers are the guys who most often win 1-3 games every season in the last couple minutes when they do their job perfectly. Extra points aren't much but a long field goal? That's a whole different story.

Agreed but if the team is lining up and hitting each other, or as a quarterback and running back are concerned getting hit each down (and practicing as such). Meanwhile you have a guy sitting in the corner who is watching and practices a kicking without having to go through the day to day grind, it is not the same.

That's like saying a pinch hitter isn't a baseball player.

Closers aren't real pitchers

Pinch hitters actually practice with the team. I've been to college practices, kickers do not. They sat on the side and decided to see who could kick the football and hit a helmet. Puntinf once ever 5 minutes. That's not a football player, thats a special teams player. Big difference.
