Most NFL players have been training for the league since they were 6 years old. This guy discovers football at 16 and makes it to professional football. Not the XFL or USFL or indoor football, but to the NFL. Amazing

Saw him kick a FG against Ole Miss when he was in college for Ga. Southern. Dude was kicking it from the logo near the 50. He made it with yards to spare. That’s was the NFL moment right there.

He's gotten better every year. When he first came to ATL, he was deadly accurate even then, but he is significantly stronger now but without losing any accuracy. 👍🏼

He was an all around beast in high school too, not just a kicker

[michaeltaylor]

I’m half Asian and I love seeing Asians in the NFL. Much respect to Younghoe

Put it this way, it's a good job he did GET into football, the amount of times he's pulled the Falcons out of the mire, there should be a statue of him made and put in front of the stadium!! Whatever the cost, keep him at Atlanta until he retires!! 😃 👍

I’m a panther fan (obvious by my profile pic) but koo is such a legend in my eyes. He’s actually got a pretty interesting story. He’s faced a lot of adversity and I think any of the other 31 teams in the NFL would be glad to have him.

America loves you!!!
Greatest kicker Atlanta has ever had!!!

[twistedtide]

Koo been my favorite player now for 5 years and I aint even a falcons fan LOL, I couldnt even tell you why, but i love this dude

[TheBearGrappler]

He was MVP as a two-way player in high school

[izaiahtheplaya]

It’s such a Charger move to not have faith in a guy, he leaves and then has amazing success

[jjanggu]

Always told people growing up: the reason why you don’t see many Asians in football isn’t because we’re not athletic but because a lot of us didnt even know how to play. I guarantee you this man outshined kids who played football for 5+ years after his 1st year playing

[cuevajack]

He just gave me an idea. If i dont succeed in soccer then imma be a kicker or punter. Fun fact my dad coached a kid who made a 64 yarder in college😮

[ethanatkinson]

He also is super smart with his money. Bought himself a huge house in a nice neighborhood but it’s just outside metro-Atl.

[ChannelHypnotc]

We need to thank the kids that made him play football in the first place

[Galatians]

Ah, I remember Younghoe kicking for the Chargers.

Bro he made nfl history with the longes fieldgoal in nfl regular season history today and he hit a game winner against the ain’ts
