NFL "Free Kick" Compilation (Rare) 

Did you make it

Lentwolf no high schooler can make that. And if they can then send him to the nfl

If he did that then the punter is probably garbage too.

Lentwolf I wasn’t the kicker, I was the punter. We managed to fair catch a few seconds before the first half ended. It was a 40-42 yard fg, but their rush blocked several extra points so we opted to the fair catch-kick to prevent a rush. Kick had the distance but went left

@@landrymiller for the brand

Yea look at crosbo now

The craziest part is that Crosby is a great kicker, and his free kick with a full run up with the same distance as Justin Tucker's field goal.

@@TetraHydroCannabinolTHChe’s on the rams 🤣

The most impressive one was the only one in history that was actually successful. That was the only scenario where it was actually a good heads up play to take the fair catch because you had a legitimate shot at making the kick, and it actually mattered in terms of the score. The rest were just gimmick prayer plays done for the hell of it.

I was just about to go try it 🤦🏾‍♂️ lol

Well tbh it’s not like they have to include every little thing. I doubt all the players are really pissed off because they can’t do a free kick that they’ll probably shank.

NumberOneJake yeah but just imagine playing around with it lol

NumberOneJake shouldn’t even be an excuse. If they are releasing the only nfl simulation game it should have that and at 60$.

Exactly what I was thinking

i'm american and i was confused watching it XD

I’m American and I have no idea what’s going on and I been watching nfl for around 14 years

@@LuminousGateway If you call for a fail catch, you can kick the ball in an attempt to score a field goal from that spot without snapping it and the defense has to stay at least 10 yards away until it's kicked. Otherwise it's treated like a usual field goal attempt.

@@jasonfischer8946 thanks bro

I wanna see Slye stay on the team. Really great story. The buff kicker gang.

How often are teams calling for a fair catch as the clock is running out in the first half?

@@robertsommers3540 You read my mind.

True

The Magic Hispanic Lol that isn’t the reason.

Return risk.

Ik rly

Justin Tucker too

@@kaijucifer3544 Pat McAfee

He attempted a 76 yarder !

I wanna see flight react to that

A.K.A. "Nathan Peterman highlights"

Kevin L. You’re right. He’s way too good to play against mere NFL players.

It could also be people who arent built like an nfl player but still play, like Maurice Jones Drew, maybe marquise brown idk

@@frostedicepharoah7723 🐐

With a nice long 69 yard field goal

wouldnt be a field goal right because its a free kick? they are separate plays and therefor separate records right?

​@romanmarcus14 It's basically a free uncontested field goal. Set up like a field goal with no tee and a holder, worth 3 pts, but opposing team is 10 yards back like a kick off. It's alternate way to get a field goal aka 3 pt kick.

It’s a free kick. Not a field goal. Therefore would not be the longest field goal.

@@MrHotshot1998you can also run up on it like a kickoff not like a regular field go so the record would be different

FACTSS

appreciate it. ive had the chance to do all of those things, but i havent for the past 3 years. glad people notice

Outro: exists.... But for real Highlight Heaven you are one of the best Sports Highlight channel up there. Keep up the good work!

JumperOverrated GMD lmao. I’ve only had this outro for a couple months. Before that, I had nothing since like 2018

Highlight Heaven why do my Bears suck?

When did the drop kick first originate?

@@troybaxterits a rule left from when american football was more similar to rugby

The only rule? Was there no tackling in the first game?

@@matthewdubay1180 didnt say that i said A rule not the ONLY rule

@@maxstelzer1165 I was responding to the original post. It read the only rule

Cuz they need to make a fair catch in the end of the first half

@@sub2technoblade849 not the end of the first half. Just any fair catch

@@jg1692 yes, but you will only see it at the end of a half. No reason to do it at any other time.

@@aidanwow1593 any fair catch however the only useful time is the end of the half

@@jg1692 Wouldn't this also be potentially useful at the end of the game as well?

The next day I called into Mike Francesa - the video is on my channel page - and said they still should have tried it (he disagreed). Would you rather David Akers from 70 yards with no rush, or an off-the-cuff punt return scrum that wastes the entire clock? With a fair catch, even if you decide not to kick there’s still time to set up a real attempt at a final play. As speedy as Jacoby Jones was, letting him return the punt seems like it was the worst option. Francesa also contended “how are you gonna get it there?”, but we do on occasion see a kicker boot one through the uprights on a kickoff from the 30 or 35 (Stephen Gostkowki used to do this regularly). I know the big difference is that you can’t use a tee for the fair catch kick, but you can get your full running start so I think it’s still worth a shot if you have a good kicker (and David Akers was one of the best ever, earlier that same season he kicked a record 63-yard field goal at Lambeau). But I digress; this is all more than a decade ago now, as crazy as that seems.

Here comes the depression. This was Week 8 Nov 3rd 1968. Take a wild guess who got his knee hurt the very next week.

aaaaaaaaaannnd OH HE HITS THE UPRIGHT AGAIN that’s impossible!!!

Based on the longest field goal attempts made videos, Denver is your best bet

The bears did it in this video

CYRUSZ Datvirusz from the looks of it, we might be able to determine the bears did something good post civil war era, not sure tho

@@CLINT-THE-GREAT True. But the Bears kicked it from within the 45, PLUS that was back when the uprights were in front of the endzone instead of behind. I would want to see it made around midfield in the modern era. Which I would imagine ( as a previous comment noted) the best place for that is Denver.

Its only a matter of time. The evolution in strength, stamina, and size is only going up in pros.

Just sad

He got him last sec

Yeah he got him at the end

fr except it's football not "sock-her"

Yeah he sounds pretty dope

He's legit

Yep

"I'm a man, I'm 40"

"We're on to Cincinnati"

Hasn't been missing since Townsend learned how to hold the ball.

RIP Gale Sayers, my dad's favorite player

Kwill3ms14 Thank you for that comment.

Texans-Ravens game last year, no one quite expected a 41-7 blowout

Obinna Nwakwue good idea

I hope highlight heaven can at least see this comment

Just about every Super Bowl from 1980-1997?

Kylie McInnes lol

It can only be done after a fair catch on a punt towards the end of a half. Also I think it has to be the last play of the half. Not sure how time can be left on the clock if that matters at all.

@@dmonsef I don’t think there is any time restriction, its just that if you miss with time left the other team gets it where you kicked from and you miss out on the chance for a TD.

@@trashstorage1468 Correct.

@@dmonsef bro shut up if you don't know what you're talking about.

43 yards though, he had the benefit of the goal posts being on the goal line back then. If he didn't, bet he'd have missed. Has anyone even made it in the modern era since they moved the posts back?

It would still be 53 yards with a running start and no defence. He probably makes that. All the other ones are way longer, kickers make 53 yarders with defence in their face so that have to kick it higher reducing distance so he probably still makes it with the goalposts on the back on the endzone.

Imagine if he replayed or liked me

Same idea. The ball has to make contact with the ground in order for the kick to score points. That's why the fair catch kick is done without a tee. Only reason dropkicks are so rare in American football is thar our ball got narrower and more pointed at the ends to make it more aerodynamic for forward passing, which meant a less reliable bounce. In rugby, where forward passes are illegal, the ball is fatter and more rounded at the ends, so it gets a better bounce when you dropkick it.

@@3ggshe11s The number of drop goals being scored or attempted is less both in Union and Leauge these days. Due to better defences, faster players and changing style of play and tactics. :(

@thaclancyfam2 There has not been to many Drop field goals in the modern era, however recently in exhibition games, there were a few drop kick-offs in last 10 years.

@trufiend138 yes

Lol the irony of this

I was there that day and I froze my ass off haha
