Are Kickers Athletes?

Yes, some kickers are actually pretty good athletes and some are poor athletes and can only kick the ball and perhaps play golf.  Some kickers are actually pretty good soccer players or can do other things much better than recreational non-professional athletes.  Now if you are asking is there a kicker that you could line up at wide receiver in the NFL...NO.

As far as I know, kickers use the same agents as all the other players. I don't think there are any agents that specialize in a particular opinion. Just stay away from that ***hole Drew Rosenhaus.

It doesn't just sound like "kicker"; it is "kicker".\n\nGerman and English have a lot of words that are identical because the are both members of the West Germanic language group.

Cheerleading is judged similarly to gymnastics and figure skating, and those sports are in the olympics. They are also very physically demanding. So yes cheerleading competitions are sports.

It's a drop kick.  A ball dropped at the the foot of the kicker...He has to kick it on the bounce. It is more practical, yet more more chancy. It takes the holder out of the game. Reduces the  players by one man. But the skill of making the kick depends on how well the kicker bounces the ball.... Great job Flutie!!!! Sorry you left San Diego!!!

Tom Dempsey, \n\nHe is most widely known for his NFL record 63-yard field goal, kicked in the final 2 seconds to give the New Orleans Saints a 19-17 win over the Detroit Lions on 8 November 1970. \n\nThis record still stands (as of the start of the 2006 season), although it was equalled by Jason Elam of the Denver Broncos on October 25th 1998. Elam had the advantage of kicking in Denver's Mile High Stadium, with the thin air providing him better distance. I also believe Tom had an advantage because of the material that made his shoe as well as the shape gave him extra kicking power over a normal shaped foot and shoe ! \n\nP.S. He had a whole rt. arm but no hand. \n\nCiao

Yes I do. The dancers I know are usually in better shape than the football players I know...... Dancing is a strenuous aerobic activity that is HIGHLY competitive.

Tom Dempsey(1970) and Jason Elam(1998) have both kicked a 63 yarder in the regular season.  Ola Kimrin kicked a 65 yarder(2002) in the preseason.

If the ball is kicked and goes past the line of scrimmage, then no.\nIf it is kicked and blocked before the ball passes the line of scrimmage and the kicking team recovers the ball, then they can try to kick a field goal again. This happened in a Pittsburgh/Cleveland game a few years back. There was talk of the NFL changing the rules so they couldn't re kick, but I am not aware if they did.

that is because the place kicker doesnt start the play and it is a kick play not a running play or passing play

Running is good and so is kick boxing

Since each discipline is quite different in terms of technique and motion, most teams (actually all NFL teams currently) would rather have separate players take on these roles. Not too mention risking a player that may be needed in a close game, thaty being the placekicker.\n\nThere have been players in years past that have done double duty and I believe the teams feel that one or the other disciplines suffer. Also, if this player is injured, than you have two starters out instead of one.\n\n- Placekickers are generally needed to kick off, and score field goals and extra points. Risking injury on a punt is not a good idea.\n\n- Punters practice different aspects of kicking and generally don't work on the timing needed for place kicking. They do sometimes help out if the placekicker is injured.\n\nOne of the last double duty kickers I remember was Frank Corral - Los Angeles Rams
