Says 1 step behind K's free-kick line... got it! Thanks!

Does a drop kick still have to be grounded or touched by R before it can be touched by K?

All free kicks, regardless of method, have to both go ten yards and be grounded before K can legally possess, unless R touches the kick first.

The definition of a drop kick is the ball touching the ground before it is kicked. All the same rules apply with a tee or a punt being used in the appropriate situations.
