Ex Aussie Athlete Tries Out Punting For The NFL!
Спорт
After watching a few NFL games in America at the end of last year I thought to myself, could I be a punter in the National Football League?
Playing 14 years of AFL in Australia, where kicking is one of the top skills to be successful I decided to give it a crack!
Thankfully we have ProKick Australia who has produced plenty of college and NFL punters, so under the careful guidance of the Brisbane scouts I had my first kick of an NFL ball!
How did I go?
shoutout Joe Fortune for tee'ing this up and the opportunity to have a look at some games in America! #joefortune

Yo Mitch, I ended up with a pair of your old Adidas Predator boots from your Carlton days. A mutual acquaintance gifted them to me because they were too big. Had texta/sharpie initial's and number, MR 13 written near the heel. They ended their days on the battlefields of the over 35's wet season soccer comp. Yep....just know that your boots mate, scored some screamers against goal keepers that were usually drinking before the game. Good times.

The last 3 punters at my college have been Australian. Laine Wilkins I think was in Brisbane system for a bit.
Legend Robbo! I loved watching you lead with your head in your Carlton days! You were a fearless Tasmanian… 👍
I saw those guys training last week at the SSC when I was walking the dog, stood and watched for a while.
Mate - looking good, was devo when you left the Blues and if i'm honest loved you attacking blokes rather than long kicks....all the best tho
Nice video Mitch love your channel
Good luck bro. Represent ✊🍻
Who's on staff @ ProKick Australia? From early 2000s or so, UHawaii has been sending players from "a Land Down Under" to NFL/CFL & other leagues. Most recently, remember Alex Dunnachie, Mat McBriar went to NFL & Scott Harding went back to Australia, after finishing college eligibility. TONS O Fun watching them play!
Dude! this man has a fire in him
Great work Robbo. Who’s the bloke taking the session? Looks familiar
have to try some rugby kicking next you and dan cater wood be a blast
Good stuff mitch
I've just started the process with ProKick to look at going to the CFL and UFL after walking away from competitive footy. it's pretty eye opening how fucking different the kicking mechanics are to hitting a barrel with a Sherrin. I'd be all about seeing the timeline of Robbo going to a college campus haha
Epic mate 🙌🏻

Definitely thinking about it!
I'll be honest, the kick @6:10 was uncatchable and would be coached NOT to receive, great punt.
All jokes aside there is a real possibility that you could actually be awesome at. Chers from Tassie
Yo how much do AFL players get paid?
Aussie
With only 1 punter per team in the NFL and great punters like Mike Turk www.youtube.com/@Hangtime37 from Oklahoma unable to make a roster. Unless you are punting it 60 yards on a dime with over 5 sec hang time it would be difficult to break in.

Hi cry baby. I punted for the prokick australia who have produced plenty of NFL punters, they work hand in hand for the nfl. Sending them footage, so technically I did punt for the NFL. I’ve got some tissues for you?

@@RobboVlogs crybaby? I asked a simple question and you gave a pissweak response. I stand by my comment. Simply misleading... But your need to insult me speaks volumes about yourself. Also I'm pretty sure prokick is based in Melbourne... Yet here you are in Sunnybank. In your own words, you trialled with Pro kick Australia. Now if you were successful then and only then would you get referred to semi interested parties in the states whether it's NFL, college or a lower division. Please don't treat your viewers like idiots and even more try not to spray your panties when asked a valid question. Insulting me just made you look insecure and it made myself have no further interest in yourself or your channel. Good luck with retirement. If an honest days work doesn't appeal to you and your dreams of being an online influencer don't psn out you can always fall back on Onlyfans. Take care bud.

I reckon for an ex AFL player, like Mitch, being a kicker in the NFL would be a fairly easy way of picking up some superannuation. AFL players do not earn anything like NFL players, but they are very well paid compared to most other people in Australia, and for doing something they are good at and love.
