Pro Bowl kickers face a PAT squeeze
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Kickers Adam Vinatieri and Cody Parkey are going to have to narrow their focus and kick a little harder to convert an extra point in Sunday’s Pro Bowl.
The NFL will narrow the goal posts from the current 18.6-feet to 14 feet.
Vinatieri, at 42 the oldest Pro Bowl member, doesn’t like the idea.
“Other people might enjoy that,” he said. “For me, I’m a traditionalist. Don’t change it unless it needs to be changed. The league has never been more successful. The fan base has never been greater. But the deciding powers are way above me.”
