many kickers can kick 70 yards in practice....asked Ryan Longwell (at a golf tournament in Lake Tahoe) his longest and he said something in the 70 range
... when you don't have to worry about getting it over outstretched hands. Getting the ball UP w/enough ooomphh to get it 70+ yds away and over the goal posts? Not to mention the pressure - on the snapper, the holder and the kicker in the face of the rush?
That said, dunno how many kickers get make it 75, 77, even alone on a field. I doubt it's half.
