Believe it or not, the dropkick remains a legal maneuver in the National Football League today. Although the dropkick has not been successfully converted on an NFL gridiron in decades, mention of it still exists in the NFL's official rule book. Rule 3, Section 8 defines the dropkick as, "a kick by a kicker who drops the ball and kicks it as, or immediately after, it touches the ground."
