the skill set is not something that can’t be developed in an average joe. the skill set for a running back and return man is something that can’t be developed unless u have some natural athletic ability. Ok no they are not gonna take poindexter and make him a kicker but you take ur average red blooded american boy that plays sports at an early age you could surely condition him to kick field goals. The skills it takes to kick field goals is not something out of the average mans reach is what i’m tryin to say. Its like if you had a designated foul shooter in basketball… you could condition almost any person to shoot foul shots with solid consistancy because it doesnt take much athletic ability to shoot foul shots…
