There has been a lot of great kickers and punters in the NFL, but have any ever gone number 1 in the NFL draft?

Sebastian Janakowski and Ray Guy! Both with the Oakland Raiders!

Has a kicker or a punter ever gone 1st in the NFL draft?ncaa ,nba teams

I can almost swear it's no. But Sabastian Janikowski went very high the year he was drafted.
Ganakouski to the Raiders
NO.
yes jon gruden took sebastian janakowski with the what..17th pick i believe? and a few other kickers have gone in the first round. i belive a total of 3 have gone in the first round. i think the raiders took a kicker as well back in the late 60's or early 70's in the first round as well.
No. Janikowski went in the 1st round to the Raiders, but was not the no.1 draft pick overall.
Well, I believe Kickers should be drafted higher then the 5th or 6th round becuase they score the majority of the Team's points.
no.Not one that only kicks
ray guy was taken in first round by the raiders , he wasn't the first pick though. 1973. not sure about erxleben for the saints he kicked field goals as well as punted. janikowski was definitely picked n the first round also by the raiders. .
I dont think so but It will probably happen someday
Not #1 overall, but definitely in the 1st round...Janikowski was taken in the 1st by the raiders, and UCLA had a kicker taken by STL Rams back in the 80s...I think Chris Lee. Janikowski still kicks, Lee didnt make it outta preseason.
Not that I can remember. You don't build a team around your special teams anyway.
NOPE
YES TO THE RAIDERS [ RAY GUY ] I DON'T KNOW WHEN

BUT NFL NETWORK SAID IT ON DRAFT DAY
that is a good question i do not know the answer to!!! but panthers have a great kiker. John Kasey buy the proble is hes getting old and wont be able to kick for much longer and i dont know where we shall fing another great kiker like kasey. he has been with the panthers all the way!
Russell Erxleben was the 11th overall pick by the Saints in 1979. The highest ever for a kicker I believe.

Should Pacman Jones be kicked out of the NFL for good?

It's apperent he has not learned his lesson from the Vegas shooting. He has shown no signs of improving his image. Even if he does come back to the NFL, he will be a huge distraction. Should the commisioner just ban him for life?

YES

Should Pacman Jones be kicked out of the NFL for good?nba mvp ,nba teams

You know I thought that too but then found out that he wasn't involved in that shooting just his entourage. Now why he needs an entourage I don't know. However, given his propensity for doing something stupid it shouldn't be long before he does something that he should be kicked out of the NFL for.
send him to the bengals
for real! i cant even believe he is in the news again...and another bengals player....help me......i dont know if banning for life is teh answer since technically he himself has done nothing wrong but hang around idiots...but he is definate distraction....maybe the players union should vote on it!
no then chris berman cant make that stupid sound anymore
If I were the NFL commissioner I would definitely ban him for this year and give him probation the following year if he's not in jail.The young dude is a talent in the NFL but I think Pacman is his own worst enemy because right after he pleaded with the commish about his 10 game suspension he got involved in another SNAFU!23 years old and the dude has gotten in more trouble than a thug from the streets of South Central LA!Ban him for life in NFL might be rolling around in the NFL commish's mind right now!If he gives him another chance then he KILLS someone,the NFL might be liable for a killer lawsuit!!!!
No. I know he's been involved in a lot of stuff, but he's never been convicted of anything. We live in a country where you are innocent until proven guilty, so Pacman in my mind is innocent. The police even said that Pacman wasnt in Atlanta where this latest shooting was. Just cause he knows someone who shot someone doesnt mean he had something to do with it. I know people that have commited crimes. And how would he be a distraction coming back to the NFL? Are you saying that a guy who has not been convicted of anything is less of a distraction than all of the Bengals players who were convicted of stuff.
of course not
I'm all for banning the Pacman for life. It's one thing to "make it rain" in a strip club. It's quite another to instigate a gun fight because you want your money back - after you've "made it rain."
yea
Has anyone ever been banned from playing football?? Well I dont think so. Ban him because hes a bad image?? Wait for him to kill somone then thats worth banning someone.
Not yet, if he goes, so does Chris Henry!
He is getting close to being banned forever, he hasn't been convicted of anything yet, but he is obviously protecting one of his buddies in the Las Vegas shootings. Now he is wanted for questioning on another shooting done by one of his entourage? What is it with this guy and gun-toting fools?
Yes because he hasn't matured. The commish gave him a chance but he blew it. He has a curfew but stays out late. He cant stop visiting strip clubs. One of his posse members left a man paralyzed.
well i know t.o.,moss,and the entire bengals team would!! he is stealing there spotlight!! 2 season ban zero tolereance i mean how hard is it not to get in a gun fight?
Yep... He should be kicked out because he has already been warned and suspended for doing the same thing he just got in trouble for. He's supposed to be a PROFESSIONAL athlete, and professional athletes should not have run ins with the law.
i would not ban him for life yet...2 seasons, but by then, no team would want him so yea that basically is the end of his career...he just can't let his old life go, his old friends, and how he was raised...the guy lacks common sense...he's a disgrace
He hasn't actually been convicted of anything so no he can't be banned for life. If you can let players back in that have been in jail then it isn't right to ban him. He should have to sit out the entire season and hopefully he will learn something, if not then you can consider banning him for multiple years, eventually he'll either be too old to play or no one will want him.
He is a jackass. Assuming he is guilty. NFL should fine him a million dollars for every incident he is involved in. That will learn him. I don't care how much money he has. A million is a million. Give the money to white kids. Bet he will reconsider his behavior.

Norm van Brocklin had the most yards passing in one game. I think it was like 575. He had two HOF receivers in Elroy 'Crazy Legs' Hirsh, and Tom Fears.

Pats have the experience and a better coach and QB, so despite a good effort by NY, Pats win by 8
Pats by 14. Maybe 31-17.

I don't know if Brady wants to go to Disneyland. I don't think he'd fit in the roller coaster.

What is this NFL flex scheduling I keep hearing about?

Apparently the first game of it was last night's Bears-Giants game?

What is this NFL flex scheduling I keep hearing about?nba 2k

Apparently, the NFL and the TV networks can reschedule games. For instance, the Bears/Giants game was originally scheduled at 1:00 on Fox, as a regional broadcast. Because of the importance of the game, it was switched to a national broadcast on NBC during prime time.

What is this NFL flex scheduling I keep hearing about?nba updates ,nba teams

The NFL looks at the lineups for the remaining games on Sundays and picks the best one to be moved to Sunday Night.

That way they can get better viewership, and get more revenue.

Think about it, would you rather watch Arizona play Miami, or Baltimore play Chicago?

I know that these teams don't play it is just to illistrate my point.
When NBC rejoined the NFL Family this year - they wanted the option to pick and choose the games they wanted to provide. They wanted a flex (flexable) schudule. So, in August Chicago and New York were not the scheduled teams for Sunday Night. But, NBC thought that was the best game this week and they used their flex schedule ability. I hope I haven't confused you.
Flex scheduling was part of the contract NBC made with the NFL for the Sunday night game.

In essence, this is the deal:

In order to make sure they get the best matchup and highest ratings for the national game, NBC gets to pick which of the Sunday games is played at night. I'm not sure when the pick has to be made, but NBC gets to move one game for their telecast.

Kind of messes up team travel schedules and fan's attendance plans, but makes for more interesting viewing down the playoff stretch.
Now until the end of the regular season, NBC will show games with playoff implications. I think last season on Monday Night Football the Packers played the Ravens played near the end of the season and both teams were going nowhere. And I think that was the reason for it.
good question.

they kept saying it yesterday during the race and I was wondering, too.
It allows for the best match ups to be moved to Sunday night football and to the late afternoon games. For example, last nights Bears-Giants game was flex scheduling.

Also go Bears!

What teams play who in the NFL playoffs?

how do they know who faces who in the playoffs. patorits, steelers? chargers etc and wildcard team and who are the chargers going to play in the first round?

What teams play who in the NFL playoffs?nba dunks

OK, take the AFC, each team is seeded 1-6 based on their record. Example: 1) Pats 2) Colts 3) Steelers 4) Chargers

5) Jags 6) Browns

The Pats and Colts get a 1st round bye as they are the highest 2 seeds. The Steelers would play the Browns in Pittsburgh, and the Chargers would play the Jags in San Diego. For the 2nd round the teams are re-seeded 1-4 based on their record, and 1 seed (Patriots) would play the 4 seed, and the #2 seed (Colts) would play the #3 seed. Higher seed get home field advantage.

What teams play who in the NFL playoffs?nba all star ,nba teams

Well If SD wins the rest of their games, and Pitt. loses one game, then SD will play Clevland... IF Pitt wins all their games and SD loses one( which wont happen) Then SD will play JAGS in SD and Pitt will play Clevland
The teams are seeded this way:

Seeds 1-4 are the 4 division winners, with the team with the best record being # 1, the team with the next best record is #2, etc.

Seeds 5 and 6 are the wild cards. These are the two teams, other than the division winners, with the best records.

It's possible for a team with a better record than another to actually have a lower seed than that team. For example, if the Colts finish at 14-2, the Jaguars at 11-5, and the Chargers at 10-6, the Chargers would actually be seeded higher than the Jags because they would be a divison winner while Jacksonville would be a wild card team.

In the first round of the playoffs (wild card weekend), the #3 seed plays #6, and the #4 seed plays #5. The top 2 seeds in each conference get a bye in the first week.

In the second playoff week, the #1 seed plays the lowest seed that is still alive, and the #2 seed plays the other team. The third week of the playoffs are the conference championship games, when only 2 teams in each conference are left.

In all post season games except the Superbowl, the highest seeded team is the home team.

In the AFC, the Patriots have clinched the # 1 seed and the Colts have clinched # 2. The other seeds aren't determined for sure yet.
The best team always plays the worst team, simple as that.

1%26amp;2 will get a bye the first week. So 3 will play 6 and and 4 will play 5. In week 2, 1 will play the lowest ranked one left, and 2 will play the highest one left.
