Default Re: How hard is placekicking?

I kicked place and punt in high school, and played GK in soccer, so I had a lot of cross-sport specific training.

My long was 48, which was only attempted because the team was up by 35 or some crap. My PAT % was around 80% which was fairly standard, especially since we ran 2pt conversion for the most part.

The real strength I had was in punting - I could boot the [censored] out of the ball from anywhere. However, accuracy is much more important, and I didn't really have much of that.

In short, there's no way you would make it, considering kicking in the AFL is like twice as hard as the NFL probably.
