Default Trick shot kicker's viral vid gets him NFL tryout

Dude is 'drop-kicking' 60 yard field goals. Pretty impressive.

By Jennifer Bowen

(RNN) - A 60-yard field goal? No problem.

Kicking a football into a canoe waiting off shore? Or into the arms of a passenger in a passing car? Or ringing a trash can … over his back shoulder?

It's as good as in.

In fact, Havard Rugland might be the best kicker who never played football. Ever.

Rugland, who is from Norway, doesn't even know much about football. With a foot like he has, he doesn't really have to, not yet anyway.

His video of trick kicks has already scored nearly 2 million views on YouTube.

"I just kind of stopped in the middle of a route, which is the worst thing you can do," Ogletree said. "He just told me, 'What were you thinking?' I kind of mumbled something to him and he was like, 'You're stupid.' "

"If we can get the running game going early, that'll open up the passing game for Troy." - Jerry Jones, 11/12/12

With a game on the line and 2 seconds left he probably can't kick it between the uprights from 38 yards out. You only get one try at that.

Yeah. You have no idea how many attempts he made to do those things. Also, be wary of the camera. Some of those camera angle made his kicks look like they were a mile long. Also, how would he do under pressure? Kicking in the NFL is less about power and more about accuracy and how you deal with pressure.

Good for him. Looks like he can kick the hell out of the ball.

Did Jets really give this guy a try? Interesting.

Good kicker for the Bucs.
