This 2017 article. So, yes it appears kickers and punter who swing that leg do it for a long time in spit of less competition and only 2 kickers on most rosters.
In 2021, technology and fitness training only gets better. The good ones seem to kick or punt forever.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
