Kicking specialist

A Kicking specialist or kick specialist and sometimes referred to a "kicker", especially when referring to a placekicker, is a player on American football and Canadian football special teams who performs punts, kickoffs, field goals and/or point after touchdowns. Most kicking specialists do not play other non-kicking positions at the highest levels of competition. The special teams counterpart of a kicking specialist is a return specialist.
