Wow, I didn't realize that being a top 5 kicker/punter would generate that kind of cash flow. . . . 2 and a half million?!?!

Yeah I didn't realize that either but if you think about it, so many games are won and lost because of the kicking game. Kickers are also the leading scorers in the NFL. I alway thought if I could play in the NFL I would want to be a DB or QB but now I would rather be a top 5 kicker. I could make 2+ mill and play for 25 years with no health issues ever, maybe an occational sore leg.
