A kick where the ball is dropped to the ground and kicked between the goal posts.
Still legal. I believe Doug Flutie scored this way for New England last year.

A dropkick is like a punt except that the football must be dropped on it's long axis (pointed end) perpendicular to the ground and kicked upon contact with the ground or upon one bounce. If the ball never hits the ground, it's the same as a punt. If the ball bounces more than once, it's an illegal kick. Yes, it's still legal at every level of play, not just the NFL.

It's were the ball is dropped on the ground and then kicked. It is legal. Doug Flutie did one last year aganist the Dolphins. My friend Collin can do one and he is 12. He dose one at the end of each of our football practice's.

You drop the ball on the ground and kick it on the bounce in the up rights (field goal posts). It is legal.

It is legal but teams don't use it. There is an art to it but it is ver difficult to do. You allow the football to drop on one of its point and on the bounce you kick it. It is kind of like a field goal but you don't have a holder .....

Bouncing the ball off of the turf and kicking it as it comes back up. The goal is to kick it through the goal posts.

Yes. When a QB rather that throwing or passing off the ball, he kicks it over the goal post.

it is when the offense sets up in regular formation and once the ball is hiked the qb punts the ball. Yes it is legal in the NFL.

I can't really explain it. It's like a punt, and yes it's legal. Doug Flutie did it last year vs. the Dolphins
