He was a punter. Every time he kicked the ball, he fell down, and they called roughing the kicker, giving his team an automatic first down.
Eventually other teams just stopped rushing him, and this was the end of his career.

No there was never a 1 legged kicker in the NFL, but Tom Dempsey had half a foot. That could be what your friend was talking about. He kicked the longest field goal in the NFL at 63 yards back in 1970. Here is a picture of what his foot was like.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Tom_dempsey.jpg

There never has been a one legged kicker. The closest thing was Tom Dempsey (New Orleans Saints) who had a club foot on his kicking leg (he shares the longest FG of 63 yards ever kicked with Jason Elam).

There has never been any kicker in the NFL without one complete leg

Are you for real? How in the world is it possible to kick a football with one leg?

That would be kind of like a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest.

Tom Dempsey didn't have a complete foot. Maybe this is what he was referring to.

Ha ha ha! How would that work? Would they sit him in a chair and hike the ball to him?
