[QUOTE="RepStar15, post: 775715, member: 10721"] Going to change gears in this thread a little and evaluate JK Scott. Never in my life have I experienced or observed a punter like JK Scott. As an athletic trainer that works specifically in injury prevention and body mechanics, I have never witnessed an athlete or any non-gymnast or figure skating male over 6’4 with the kind of hamstring flexibility this kid has. From a body mechanics perspective, it is legitimately un heard of. He also does not leave the ground when he punts, which is a massive disadvantage (from a kinetics stand point) of power. However, because he has so much flexibility and range of motion in his kicking leg, the power somehow is being generated significantly from his leg. Most punters generate power from a transfer of force from the core/hips. Since I have never seen anything like this, I am extremely curious if this kid can be coached up to leave the ground and generate the force he is producing from his kicking leg IN ADDITION to his core/hips through coaching him how to leave the ground when punting. Just speculating here, but if he can be taught that—theoretically—he should be able to kick record breaking punts. I am going to guess that many coaches in his past has tried to generate that out of him and that ruined his form, which is why he punts the way he does. Looking at this from a different science prospective, because he does not leave the ground his trajectory will be much higher, yielding height and hang time. Not saying that way he punts is right nor wrong, just saying its extremely unique and could lead to a massive upside or downside. This position battle may be more intriguing to a science nerd like myself, than the wide receiver group. [/QUOTE]
