Former Falcons K Morten Andersen discusses NFL changes, the future of the kicking game, and more

If you’ve been reading our content here at The Falcoholic for a while, you know that we enjoy speaking with legendary kicker Morten Andersen. He’s an Atlanta Falcons great who kicked for the team from 1995-2000, 2006-2007 and is one of four kickers in the prestigious Pro Football Hall of Fame.

I was able to speak with Andersen again recently, and we discussed everything from kicker Matt Bryant to Andersen’s favorite memories from his seven Pro Bowls.

Recently, the NFL flirted with the idea of doing away with the current onside kick rules and moving towards a new format where the offense has an attempt to get a first down and retain possession.
