RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Considering how easily Michael Dickson has adjusted to the NFL and become one of the best punters in the league as a rookie, hearing that he was a bit anxious about a kicking situation may be a surprise.
But last Sunday night, the Seattle Seahawks rookie was on the verge of being asked to perform a task he's never executed outside of messing around at practice or during pregame warmups.
Dickson was filled with apprehension at the prospect of having to attempt a drop-kick extra point or field goal. In a game. With a rush coming at him.
