Holy... Hell.


I bet if a good special teams coach gets to work with the guy, and he gets use to pressure in his face, he could be a great NFL kicker.

Except that he probably won't be given 20 attempts per kick by the Lions. :)

How many takes do you think it took him to get some of those tricks? Some of the most impressive kicks to me were the ones to his buddy on rocky hillsides, just because of how big of a PITA it would be when they miss. How'd you like to be that poor bastard having to chase errant footballs all over the Norwegian countryside?

I wondered the same thing, although that last kick, where he kicks a ball and then kicks another one into it, was impressive even if it took 100 takes! Wow.

LOL! That wouldn't be fun.

He's clearly skilled and he can clearly kick it far. It will be interesting to see how well (and how can consistently) he can execute in actual game situations.

Wow! That is some serious talent. Really strong leg too.

Wonder how long it will take before someone here compares his accuracy to Ponder's?

Looks like it took a little less than four days.
