One I've actually seen used this season by some college teams, and that's the kick from the side.
The other is when the guy actually lets the ball bounce on the ground and then kicks it on the rebound. This one I have not seen in recent years.
And to the person who asked for GLB punters to be able to angle it to the sides, they can. You just can't tell them when to do it.
people actually drop kick in the nfl??? wow... some of our NRL and union guys can drop kick 50+metres...no idea of the conversion for that one.... but punting and torpedoing normally go further than that
