Editing Placekicker (section)

=== Outside North America===
Despite a higher share of kickers in the NFL being foreign nationals than on any other position (except punter), the kicking game is not always the strong suit of teams outside North America. The [[NFL Europe]] was notable for employing former professional [[association football]] players as placekickers, some of them becoming fan favorites, like [[Manni Burgsmüller]]. The [[European League of Football]] in its inaugural [[2021 European League of Football Season|2021 season]] had a relatively high share of [[Point after Touchdown]] attempts miss or be blocked and had a notably higher share of [[Two Point Conversion]] attempts even than the contemporary [[2021 German Football League]]. The [[Cologne Centurions (ELF)]] and the [[Leipzig Kings]] even had all their Field Goal attempts that season fail (0–1 and 0–3 respectively in a ten-game season). The [[Barcelona Dragons (ELF)]] hired NFL alumnus [[Giorgio Tavecchio]] late in the season to improve their kicking game while the [[Hamburg Sea Devils (ELF)]] got lucky with journeyman placekicker [[:de:Phillip Friis Andersen]] making 17 out of 18 attempts during the regular season, including a game winning one in the league opener against [[Frankfurt Galaxy (ELF)]].
