That along with possibly Hockey Goalie are the two most likely positions where a female could potential break down barriers. There are some things even with those positions that are problematic. Goalie in hockey is really exhausting and you need quite a bit of stamina to do that (other than that it isn't really power oriented and you rely simply on instinct and athletic ability.) The problem with being a place kicker or punter in football is that it really does require a LOT of generated power in your legs. There are some girls that could do this at least at the high school and college level, the NFL requires a nearly freakish level of accuracy that is extremely difficult to balance power and accuracy to the degree the NFL kicker needs (they should get more credit for what they do).
