Lmao. This reminded me of a story no one asked for. 

One of my buddies (Nate) growing up was a really good soccer player that also kicked for the football team. He eventually earned a walk-on spot as a kicker at TCU. One of our middle school coaches was former Texas walk-on WR and FG holder Cade McCrary. He was like 1-2 years out of college and was super fun to be around. Well sometimes during special teams practice, he'd tell Nate to purposely kick the ball at the back of the OL during FG and PAT segments just like that video. And for no reason other than it was hilarious. During kickoff segments, he'd always make the front row of the kick return scout team consist of the fattest kids on the team, so the OL.

I remember in 7th grade one day we were practicing a few onsides, and McCrary and Nate got the idea to kick the ball as hard as he could at one of the OL to see if they could dodge it in time. Nate ended up kicking the ball so hard it got stuck in our center's facemask 10 yards away, who could not dodge it in time since he was like 240 pounds as a 12-13 year old. A few guys on the kickoff team ran and decleated him and the ball popped out of his facemask on the hit like it was a cartoon. I think it was the hardest I've ever laughed in my life. 

McCrary was just hilarious to be in practice with. We'd be in warmups and he'd have a coach drive the golf cart around the field as he stood on the back of it throwing footballs trying to earhole us in the side of the helmet lol. And the OL would have to sometimes catch punts for us to not do conditioning. 7th and 9th grade football was the most fun I ever had playing sports
