According to a story on NFL.com, Harvard Rugland, a Norwegian-born guy whose YouTube placekicking trick shot video is legendary, will now get to prove he deserves to play in the NFL.
The Detroit Lions, upon seeing this video, have signed the 28-year old to a contract with a shot to compete for the team's placekicker position.
Whether or not these amazing shots will translate in the pressure-packed professional leagues is another matter. It's one thing to kick off a tee but another thing to do it while a bunch of guys are screaming and yelling and trying to crush you.
However, for now, give the guy his props and hope he reaches for the stars in his dream to make it to the big time.
