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.

The above answers are spot on, however in the early 80s, Tony Roach from Richmond was a prolific goal kicker, followed by Brian Taylor. I think you'll find that both of them reached the 100 goal mark in a season at least once - Roach on more than one occasion.

While I can not say for certain if a kicker has completely missed the ball, if they were to do so, the ball would still be live so the holder would be able to run or throw the ball.  Often times fake field goals are set up like this.  The kicker will go through all of his motions including the swing of his foot in an effort to draw the attention away from the holder.  The holder will then get up and either run or pass the ball or in some instances quickly toss the ball to another player while still on his knee.

The longest drive in a PGA event is Mike Austin, whose 515-yard drive in 1974 stands as the longest ever in a professional golf tournament

It is NOT placed at the 20 yard line, if a player takes a knee after the missed field goal beyond the 20 yard line. The ball is placed at the line of scrimmage from where the field goal was kicked. So in this example, Chicago would have got in from the 40ish but Hester took a gamble and it paid off.

Once your in the NFL you need to be able to hit 50 yard kicks but in college 40 is good and high school 35 is good, alot of soccer players become kickers because of their legs and their leg strenght. It is hard to just train to be a kicker and only do that but if you play soccer its a great way to train your leg and then you just have to work on accuracy and consitancy in your kicks on the football field.

The actual playing field of an American football field from goal line to goal line is 300 feet by 150 feet, or 100 yards by 53 1/3 yards.  Of course, counting the 30 extra feet for each end zone, the field lengthens to 360 feet or 120 yards.  \n\nKeep aware, the end zones have special rules that do not pertain to the rest of the playing field.  They include the touchdown, touchback, and safety rules, among others.\n\nThis website not only includes dimensions but diagrams and downloadable PDFs as well.  Other info included is the length and width of the hash marks, endlines, restraining lines, and more: http://www.sportsknowhow.com/football/field-dimensions/nfl-football-field-dimensions.html\n\nHope this helps!\n--J.

usually about half way between the 18 and half field. We are talking about professional goalies right? \n\nVan der sar has the longest through (he can through it past half field)

Believe it or not, the dropkick remains a legal maneuver in the National Football League today. Although the dropkick has not been successfully converted on an NFL gridiron in decades, mention of it still exists in the NFL's official rule book. Rule 3, Section 8 defines the dropkick as, "a kick by a kicker who drops the ball and kicks it as, or immediately after, it touches the ground."
