But this is a little different. In the NFL they can't use a tee. On kickoffs they can use a 1" tee. That is significant. You won't see many kickers at all trying to use a kickoff approach when the ball is on the ground. It is too easy to hit the ground with the kicking foot when you use the big approach. Accuracy is also an issue there as there is more variability in the approach.
But I agree with you that probably half of the leagues kickers could have made that.
