YouTube video wins Norwegian kicker NFL tryout - NFL- NBC Sports

STOCKHOLM - A Norwegian whose Youtube clip of spectacular trick shots has been watched over half a million times could be on the verge of a National Football League (NFL) contract as a kicker.

The video caught the attention of professional teams in the United States, and Norwegian state broadcaster NRK has reported that its star, Havard Rugland, had a tryout for the NFL's New York Jets this week.

This guy is pretty amazing. He has a great sense of humor. Just hope he can deal with the pressure of tight situations if he gets to play.

Yeah. It ain't quite the same when 11 fire breathing monsters are trying to run through you to get to the ball and 70,000 fans are either holding their breathe for you or calling you every name in the book at THAT moment after you've been hanging on the sidelines for 99% of the game.
