Sucks that it won’t count as a record because it’s not an actual regular season game. Guy has a leg on him for sure. 

Got a feeling that in the conditions he made it and clearing the goal post by 10 yards.....

 

Its only a matter of time before he beats the record by 4 or 5 yards in the regular season.

Yes and no

End of half situations, sure, but in reality, even if he has the leg for that long of a kick, 98 times out of 100 they aren't going to even consider it because missing it gives the other team crazy good field position.

Not to mention even knowing he can make it in a game situation..... he's probably hitting 1 or 2 out of every ten tries.

Can you imagine somebody gets to where they can kick 80 yarders and we’ve got teams starting on the 35 now. Get the ball at the 35, run, run, run, fg.

The physiological human limit for force generated by a human is around 75 yards.... in average sea level conditions.

Did they do that on sports science or mythbusters or something? I’d watch that.

I believe so, I clicked an article with it on X showing research trying to find it again lol keep in mind it was referring to game conditions with the ball having to have a trajectory clearing the lines as well.

Justin Tucker hit an 87 yard in warm ups.

I think half of the Cam Little situation is the Steelers special teams not doing well on that play

Not the same thing.... like at all, the research is also taking into account a minimum angle trajectory to clear the lines (which you dont need to do in warm ups) shoot guys have made it through the up rights on kickoffs all the time, that FLAT trajectory is NOT possible with offensive and defensive linemen 7 yards in front of the ball.

Higher trajectory = more force required

The average starting field position is the 29 yard line...

So they only need 16 yards on average to be in this guys range....thats kind of sick.

The team isn’t going to be kicking 70 yard field goals unless time is running out. That leaves the opposing team also only needing about 12 yards to be in FG range.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.
