just won the Super Bowl<\/a>.<\/p>\nBurton wowed onlookers this week when he hit the 110-foot roof of the Raiders practice facility with a punt.<\/p>\n
Las Vegas guard Caleb Rogers said in an interview this week that Raiders punter AJ Cole hasn\u2019t even done that, saying, \u201cWe specifically built this indoor area to the height it is so we stay away from that issue.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
Rogers said Burton\u2019s kick \u201cwas really cool to see. I saw the video of his 68-yard kick, which was incredible. If [Burton] wanted to get into [the NFL], it would be a great story. If he wanted to come over here, someone is going to give him a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dickson, speaking to the Australian Associated Press, agreed with Rogers\u2019 assertion.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sure he could do it,\u201d the Seattle punter said. \u201cIt\u2019s quite different to Aussie Rules and [rugby] league. The sweet spot [on the ball] is completely different. He would eventually find the sweet spot kicking an NFL ball. [In the NFL], you might only get three or four punts a game, and if one or two of them aren\u2019t perfect, then 50 percent of your game wasn\u2019t up to standard.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s very easy to hit one good punt. But it\u2019s really quite difficult to have a year where out of 70 punts, 65 of them are really good punts. That\u2019s a very hard thing to do. You\u2019ve got to have a big leg, and you have to be somewhat delusional in the game. A lot of the time, you\u2019re going out there when the game\u2019s not going well, the offense wasn\u2019t doing their thing. You need to go out there and think, \u2018I\u2019m about to flip this game.\u2019 \u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
