Bloodgood made his professional debut in the NFL playing two years with the Kansas City Cowboys in 1925-1926.
On December 12, 1926 against the Duluth Eskimos he tied an NFL record (with Paddy Driscoll) of
4 drop-kicked field goals in a single game.
The drop kick is significantly more difficult; as Jim Thorpe once explained, "I regard the place kick as almost two to one safer than the drop kick in attempting a goal from the field."

"In both American and Canadian football, one method of scoring a field goal, fair-catch kick (American Football only), or extra point is by drop-kicking the football through the goal, although the technique is very rarely used in modern play."
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_kick#American_and_Canadian_(gridiron)_football
the only successful drop kick in the NFL since 1941 was by Doug Flutie, the backup quarterback of the New England Patriots, against the Miami Dolphins on January 1, 2006, for an extra point after a touchdown.
Flutie had estimated "an 80 percent chance" of making the drop kick, which was called to give Flutie, 43 at the time, the opportunity to make a historic kick in his final NFL game;
the drop kick was his last play in the NFL.
*.
On October 24, 2020, Iowa State University backup punter Corey Dunn attempted a surprise on-side drop kick off against Oklahoma State University.
It was nearly successful as the Cowboys failed to cleanly field the kick, but Oklahoma State recovered the ball in the ensuing scrum.
