And then notice another man behind me with that same idea

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."
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Bloodgood
____
"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.

Fireworks celebrate the fourth of july sky over the gulf of Persia
And you’re in italy sleeping off a siesta,
The planes passengers crossing the channel to their homes
Smelling of Lebanese meats and spices, the sound of silly
Children happy to see daddy, spouse’s complaint of the local
Vicious dog that terrorizes the innocent meter reader doing daily duties
I’m pitching horseshoes in Oklahoma, taking aim
And firing with my lower lip silently chewed in contemplation
Pitching my shoe and hoping for a ringer the macho
Burst of fireworks resounds in my mind
And all I felt was disgust, and all I felt was this remorseful code
Dashdashdash dotdotdot dashdashdashing thru all the
Miles and differing wartime zones, and all I felt
From this celebration of isolation was nausea
My mind churning with the bloated floating dead
O spangled banner of america who’d guess you’re not an island
Though surrounded by mental waters you only
Lower your drawbridge to send out armed salesmen, what
Carrion you produce along the skyways of commerce!
What blisters swelling on the triggerfingers of ignorance,
What vain nationalism with your civil plights
And comdom-nation of others! And what say I of myself?
I’m america too, an isolatoe, but I think that think my nation
Hates thinking, knockout those with something to give
Wrap nature in disposable diapers and talcum the
Consciences by proclaiming I am
Not me! Swear it doesn’t hurt though the drought burns
Our pink skins like sonic insults! Independence day
Fade away like a pipe bomb, like a tummy ache, like
A cramp in the side, and shatter our illusory caskets!

There are no strangers in our open morning, no friends bearing a true compass other than the baby sun and harbor moon. Silence can't be broken like a horse. Rope and saddle and wishes stay selfish in the pecking orders of mountains. My glacier thirsts for the ocean floor, shaggy with salt. When we're helpless, we help ourselves to suffer. When the polis eats us, we're political. A routine checkup checks all the Pandora boxes, unpostmarked by design. Everything done comes undun, washing the tomorrow clean of whence. Worn out thread becomes a nest, with effort feathers. I bark another tree, spin a yarn, and tumble in my bagworm skin. When rebooted, our toes map the cavernous naps and spatial tuck. When pulling oneself out of the tarpit, the tar comes along to the dino museum. It's free.

Canopy, "The forest canopy is a structurally complex and ecologically important subsystem of the forest.
It is defined as

which is the combination of all foliage, twigs, fine branches, epiphytes as well as the interstices (air) in a forest” (Parker, 1995)."
Definition of canopy
"(Entry 1 of 2) 1a : a cloth covering suspended over a bed. b : a cover (as of cloth) fixed or carried above a person of high rank or a sacred object : baldachin A canopy hung over the altar. c : a protective covering: such as. (1) : the uppermost spreading branchy layer of a forest."
