I'd love to see more Asians in football. I was a kicker in HS and in college, the first Latino starting kicker in D-II, and my dream was to play in the NFL. I didn't make it, but I did have two teams look at me, the Buccaneers and the Colts, and it was one of the most exciting times in my life. I can just imagine what a whirlwind it's been for Koo, working so hard and then getting a second chance, and he's definitely made the best of it.

Opportunity just ain't there due to where most Asian people live. It's not even just a cultural thing. Most Asians live in California or NY, urban city centers. I went to a magnet school and was actually on the wrestling team and track team. I wanted to try playing football but we didn't have a football field or team..... I did have a cousin who lived in Central Florida though and he had the opportunity to join his HS team, but it was competitive AF in his region, so he never even got a chance to play (guys on his team went D1) And there's also the issue of race... even if you get lucky enough to live in a region where you could play, was interested in playing, school had a team/field, coach might not ever even let you get off the bench (I had another cousin who was a freak of nature athlete [he's 6'5 280] but his coach was super racist, just straight up said he didn't belong)

@@HisDudeness_69 Chargers has historically been rich at Kicker. Nate Kaeding had like a 91% field goal percentage before his downfall. He choked in the playoffs but mostly accurate kicker. Now we have Dicker the kicker who is really really good too. We also had Dustin Hopkins who is making miracles in Cleveland. That's why Chargers see kickers as dispensable because they've been so lucky that they are taking it for granted.

To be fair - the NFL is not a training ground for kickers. They expect high performance from day 1 and if you can't do it, they can easily replace you. The falcons would have cut him as well in his rookie year. He was only given a second chance after he improved himself AND proved himself in another league.

There was another South Korean named John Lee with similar beginning but didn't get the second chance. John Lee set many kicking records at UCLA, and was signed by the Cardinals. He didn't adjust to NFL well and didn't get past his first season. Glad to see Younghoe Koo made it and even became one of the best.
