College Kicker Gets Absolutely Destroyed During Blocked Kick, but Has the Best Response Imaginable

The football kicker. It can be a glamorous job if you hit the game-winning field goal in overtime, but it also comes with a lot of stigmas. Kickers are routinely mocked as weak, fragile or even non-athletic. Don't tell that to Baylor's Christopher Callahan.

During Thursday's Cotton Bowl between Baylor and Michigan State, Callahan lined up for a field goal. But it was blocked. Callahan then took off toward the Michigan State player who had the ball to try and prevent a run-back. That's when he got absolutely destroyed by a blocker:

Adding insult to injury, Michigan State came back from a massive fourth-quarter deficit to win the game by one point.

But Callhan decided to take a lighthearted approach after the game, tweeting out a joke about kickers and what his mom once told him:

My mom said I would never get hit...#SicEmBears
