The NFL's Longest-Tenured Kicker Tried To Teach Me How To Kick A Field Goal

Two steps back, two steps over. Hips square. Foot planted shoulder width from the ball. Inside top of the foot to the bottom quadrant of the ball. Boom.

Kicking doesn’t seem complex. It can even look simple, especially when the Adam Vinatieri, the NFL’s longest-tenured kicker, is drilling them on an indoor field from 15 yards away.

Vinatieri’s 20-season career has included some of the game’s most memorable field goals — with four Super Bowl rings to show for it. Rams–Patriots Super Bowl in 2001: 20-17, Vinatieri. Patriots-Panthers Super Bowl in 2004: 32-29, Vinatieri.
