Jason Kelce says goodbye to any NFL kicking career

Do you remember recently when Jason Kelce said, “It’s too easy to kick field goals now”? Well, those words may have come back to bite him today.

While it’s normally students who take part in Pat McAfee’s kicking challenge on ESPN’s College GameDay, the broadcaster got one of their star NFL analysts, the aforementioned Kelce, to attempt a field goal. The expectant crowd surrounded the former center. The cameras were rolling. The kick went way, way to the left, wide of target.

These things can, of course, happen to even the best. So, Kelce got another go. The result, as you can see from the above clip, was almost identical.

At least afterwards he had changed his opinion on this key league skill, and in his abilities at it. “I’ve got a whole new respect,” he said. “I suck at kicking, okay!”
