my uncle is a kicker in the NFL."kickers are not any help to the team" ignore them IDIOTS. My uncles name is david akers and he was a horrible kicker and then he went to his old highschool every day when nobody was there and he would start with accuracy not distance once he mastered his accuracy he then started distance,1st he would start from 10 yards .do that 5 times right,then he would go 15 yrds do that 5 times rigtht and so on he would master each 5 yards farther then the last .....AND kickers in my opinion are the most importin position and ill tell you why.The patriots last 2 superbowls depended on a fieldgoal.and my uncle was in a game againts the dallas cowboys aka my fav team,,,,,,and my uncle made a fg in the final sec that resulted in a playoff spot.SOOOOO to all you idiots who say kickers arent importn .LOOK UP INFO ON HISTORY OF FOOTBALL...i hope this insprires you and helps you become a better kicker..
