When the Alabama Crimson Tide gained a commitment from kicker Eddy Pineiro earlier this month, they knew he had a strong leg but his most recent accomplishment is just ridiculous:

You read that correctly, Pineiro hit a 73-yard field goal on the practice field.

In case you were wondering, the longest field goal ever converted at the FBS level was a 65-yarder by Martin Gramatica for Kansas State in 1998.

If Pineiro lives up to the hype, Alabama could have the best punter/kicker combo in the nation in 2016 when Pineiro joins punter JK Scott in Tuscaloosa.
