Henery's kick vs. NFL kickers career long FG's

[Wisc_Husker]

One of my friends put this together, he wondered how many pro kickers could have stood up and hit a clutch kick of that length. We all knew that was a helluva kick, but these stats really show how difficult that kick was!

Never realized that KC has the worst kicker in the league...fitting though with the rest of the team they have.

Holy crap! Henery has shown he is consistent, he should be playing in the NFL.

The Posts are wider apart in College. It is a much easier Kick to make than it is in the NFL because of this.

actually thats not true anymore, and it wouldnt have mattered on his kick. that would have been good in arena football

You're right, but I don't think that kicker has been with the team for even half the season.

Was it the Saints recently, that hired the winner of some halftime kick contest to replace their bad Kicker?

And he had to forfeit his halftime prize to do so?

You mean Matt Williams, he is from Texas Tech. He won free rent at halftime and had to give it up because Leach wanted him to join the team.

Connor Barth has been with KC (and the league) for 4 weeks.
