Rule 6
Section 1 The Kickoff and Other Free Kicks
ART. 2 . . . A free kick shall be made from any point between the hash marks
and on K’s free-kick line. A punt may not be used for a free kick other than after
a safety. Once designated, K must kick from that spot. When a punt is used following
a safety, the ball must be kicked within one step behind K’s free-kick line.

Then do you think they intended a drop kick to be that much more difficult than a punt, when used for a free kick?
