Kickoff specialist A kickoff specialist ( KOS ) is a seldom - used position in American and Canadian football . Kickoff specialists are members of the special teams . They are responsible to kick the ball in the kickoff . These players tend to have a strong leg , often capable of making touchbacks , and capable of keeping a ball in the bounds of the field of play but do not have the accuracy or technique required to be a full - time placekicker or punter . Some kickoff specialists later become full - time placekickers , while some are marginal placekickers who are soon out of football . Due to modern roster restrictions , most NFL teams do not elect to have a kickoff specialist , and instead use their placekickers ( or , less often , punters ) on kickoffs . The most recent NFL kickoff specialist was John Potter , who was kickoff specialist for the Buffalo Bills for the first six weeks of 2012 until kickoff duties were given to placekicker Rian Lindell . Other players who have spent at least some time as kickoff specialist for an NFL team since 2006 include Billy Cundiff , Steven Hauschka , Rhys Lloyd , David Buehler , and Todd Carter . Thomas Morstead handles kickoffs in addition to his normal punting duties , but does not do the traditional placekicker duties of kicking field goals and extra points . In high school football and most other professional leagues , one kicker handles all three kicking positions . Even college football teams usually do not utilize kickoff specialists , despite the much larger rosters at that level .
