POV: Seeing How Far I Can Kick

The short attempts go first. Adam Botkin works his way backward through a field-goal challenge until the camera has a much longer flight to follow: a successful 70-yard kick on an outdoor practice field.

"That's not a bad day, man," he says afterward.

His Short, "POV: Seeing How Far I Can Kick," has passed half a million views, drawing a far larger first-day audience than his Shorts usually receive. The progression gives it a simple thread: each successful attempt earns another step back, until Botkin is celebrating kicks from well beyond midfield.

The comments become an informal team suggestion box, but that is no accident. Botkin ends by asking viewers to name a football team that needs a kicker. The Rams come up repeatedly, alongside appeals from supporters of the Falcons, Saints and 49ers. Those are viewers' suggestions, not reports of teams seeking his services.

For Botkin, the distance test sits alongside a more specific kicking exercise: his "Making NFL Missed Field Goals" uploads revisit attempts missed in league games. Here, there is no NFL miss to recreate, just the question of how far back he can go.
