One would think there would have been more than that by now.
Pretty amazing.

If his arm was as strong as his leg he would be pulling down $45m per year!

What? That requires that the ball be kicked over 70 yards on a line with a rush coming. I'm surprised there have been as many as there has. Hell a lot of kickers can't kick the ball that far even without trying to get it through..

I actually can't believe Maher has been so good, since we had such a clown show going on at kicker in camp.

I'm pretty sure the team ran off Garibay, so thankfully Maher was able to step up.

Exactly. I'm surprised Justin Tucker hasn't done this yet.

I think we have ourselves a Pro Bowl kicker.

So true. To have a ball go through an 18 ft gap 10 ft high at 60+ yards out is tough to do. Add in a defense who makes you kick the ball up instead of straight and it's a special accomplishment. For years teams wouldn't even try 60+ yarders.

YouTube has killed the appreciation for quality kickers. There are a lot of guys who can throw up videos of them making 60-70 yard kicks routinely, but with no rush it's a different challenge altogether.

70 yards? It is 60.
