When I was seven my father took me to Wilmington College to watch training camp; I was enthralled.  How did Dave Lewis punt the ball that high?

During a school field trip we were at fountain square but i can't remember the year or why. There were Bengals players there and a lot of people so it was some kind of celebration (probably had to do with SB16). 

Some rando kid gave Pat McInally a nerf football and when he kicked it, i thought it was going to soar right over those buildings. I couldn't believe a human could kick something that high and far and it was a freaking Nerf.
