DETROIT (AP) a The Detroit Lions are offering a Norwegian Internet stopping feeling a shot to make the group. Detroit closed kicker Havard Rugland on Thursday, declining to disclose details of the offer. With the move, the Lions be seemingly giving recently bought kicker David Akers some opposition or at least provide some depth at the career for practice. Detroit recently closed Akers soon after Jason Hanson retired. A trick-shot movie a termed "Kickalicious" a' Rugland submitted in September has more than 2.7 million views. The movie demonstrates him kicking and punting a through uprights from as a long way away as 60 yards, from right on and also from extraordinary angles. He also kicks a to a friend on a vessel on a river, in a car, on a skateboard, on a railway bridge, on a mountain, on a overlooking a and over trees. Rugland played amateur soccer in his native Norway before taking a pastime in baseball in 2011 after viewing the Super Bowl. He had tryouts for the Lions and Ny Jets and has been training at Michael Husted's pro kicking camp in Florida. The 6-foot-2, 240-pound Rugland said last month that his tryout with the Lions went well although he improved the hamstring in his strong left knee. He's polished his stopping motion while operating with Husted in Hillcrest since having a with the Jets in December. Husted has said he's heard from Jan Stenerud, the sole genuine kicker in the Hall of Fame and also from Norway. "I spent my youth idolizing Jan Stenerud as a Husted said last month. "He is excited to see another Norwegian have a way to ensure it is in the NFL." Rugland is attempting to take a similar route to the NFL as Darren Bennett. The former Australian Rules Football player became a Pro Bowl punter for the Hillcrest Chargers in the mid-1990s. "Of course I would maybe not mind having a career like him," Rugland said. "That will be a lot to hope for".
