The fair catch kick is a rule at the professional and high school levels of American football that allows a team that has just made a fair catch to attempt a free kick from the spot of the catch. The kick must be either a place kick or a drop kick, and if it passes over the crossbar and between the goalposts of the opposing team's goal, a field goal, worth three points, is awarded to the kicking team.

Mac L. Percival is a former American football placekicker in the National Football League (NFL) for the Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys. He played college basketball at Texas Tech University.
