What NFL Team Needs A Kicker? 🤔

Which NFL team needs a kicker? In Adam Botkin's comments, the Rams get repeated nominations. His latest Short offers an informal audition at SoFi Stadium, complete with a long field goal that strikes a stadium camera.

"It hit the camera, but it's good," Botkin says.

The Short drew roughly 360,000 views in its first day, far beyond his usual start. The comments arrived about twenty-four times faster than on a typical first day, with team suggestions sharing space with a familiar football qualification: making a kick in practice isn't the same as doing it with a snap, a defensive rush and a game on the line.

Botkin supplies a little of that imagined pressure himself. Lauren, his partner, takes the microphone and predicts he'll make a long game-winning attempt in two tries. Later, he sets up another scenario: a touchdown has been scored, and it's time for the extra point.

Lauren also offers a considerably simpler explanation of the job: kick it really hard, and it goes in. Then she has a go herself, getting the ball off the ground.

For Botkin, the NFL question is a recurring thread rather than a new premise. His channel includes tryout and pro-day videos, and he's been posting installments of "Making NFL Missed Field Goals." This time, Lauren's sideline commentary accompanies the kicking demonstration.

It is different when you have pressure and the chance of it getting blocked, but it was still a great kick

It’s a lot harder to kick an in game field goal with the fans in ur ear for the win. Then just a regular one in the quiet
