Remember the NFL Fantasy Files commercials that featured PROFESSIONAL football players doing ridiculously inconceivable things? I guess I didn't realize how old those commercials were until I took a look, so in case you don't know what I am talking about - enlighten yourself. Now that we are all caught up, this 120 pound (when soaking wet) high school senior booting absolutely bombs through goal posts on the other side of the field looks like he's straight out of a cleverly edited NFL advertisement. He's so goddamn far away he needed his own referee for confirmation on whether or not it went through the uprights, and I don't blame him because I almost had to squint my way into a pair of glasses to try to follow that ball all the way through it's landing. I guess there's not much to work on when you're a kicker, but being confident enough to attempt a 76 yard field goal actually might be more impressive than making a 76 yard field goal. Hey, you gotta be mentally tough to be a kicker, and nothing screams mentally tough like popping the top off and lining one up from a full fifteen yards behind midfield.
I don't know if this kid has any interest in the military, but as far as football goes there is no better fit than Army. The team that passes the ball seven times a game, goes 3-and-out so fast you would think they were under strict orders to do so, and was about 5 missed chip shots away from beating their arch nemesis Navy last year? Yeah, safe to say they could use a kicker that feels comfortable kicking from Afghanistan. Hell, he just might instantly become their best offensive weapon...
