ORLANDO, Fla. -- Late in December, 100 of the top high school football players gathered to take part in the Under Armour All-America Game. The rosters were loaded with five-star prospects and future NFL draft picks.
But in one corner of the practice field at ESPN's Wide World of Sports complex, kicker Will Reichard was buying time, practicing kicks and even throwing passes to the end zone to the other kickers participating in the event.
He took a snap, rolled out of the pocket and floated a touchdown pass to a receiver as if he were the five-star quarterback whose name is mentioned as the next big thing.
