This weird NFL rule lets you score 3 points without kicking a field goal New, 2 comments By Jessica Smetana Updated Sep 7, 2017, 12:01pm EDT. Play Drop Kick – From ArcadePrehacks.com. Pick your team and win the World Cup. To do that you have to pass 5 rounds.

I don't believe you have to be behind the line of scrimmage.This play is a holdover from rugby where a player can attempt adrop goal at any time during play. A player, often during a fullsprint, will drop the ball in front of him and as it touches theground will kick it through the uprights for three points. DougFlutie used this technique to score the extra point in the lastplay of his career. Jim McMahon, the noted Chicago Bearsquarterback, used to challenge kickers to drop goal contests. Rumorhas it that they soon learned that that was a good way to losemoney. * As long as you're behind the line of scrimmage and theball hits the ground before you kick it. New Answer: No the ballmust be kicked from the groung Not in American football, no. Allkicks must be taken from behind the line of scrimmage.
Drop kicks are still perfectly legal. They're just not attemptedvery often anymore, mostly because the shape of the footballchanged to accommodate forward passes. It used to be rounder like arugby ball and give a more reliable bounce when it hit theground.
Canadian football still allows a team to kick and recover frombeyond the line of scrimmage. Any player from the kicking team canrecover the ball, as long as he was level with or behind the kickerat the time of the kick. I suppose this rule would allow for adropkick to be taken from anywhere on the field, but it's usuallyused at the end of tie games to punt deep and force the other teamto give up a 1-point rouge.
