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

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.

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

...says he has a cannon for a leg, I'm going to believe Husted.

Good kicker for the Bucs.
