Cameron Dicker, Ray Wersching Talk Fair Catch Kicks at Chargers Facility

Ray Wersching was watching the Chargers-Broncos game Thursday night when he suddenly saw an old-school football card pop on screen.

Wersching, who spent four seasons with the Bolts in the mid-1970s, had previously been the last player to make a fair catch kick in an NFL game.

That honor, of course, now belongs to Cameron Dicker, who hit a 57-yarder against Denver for the longest such kick in NFL history.

Wersching, who was at The Bolt on Monday, said he initially thought his status was safe until he saw the flag on the play.

“Then there was a penalty and I went, ‘Uh oh.’ That brought it 15 yards closer and I said, ‘This is it. He’s going to make it. I know he is.’ It brought that rule into where everybody knows about it,” Wersching said.

Wersching toured the Chargers facility and took Monday’s practice, getting a chance to meet Dicker afterwards.

“I think it’s cool we both got to do it, especially being here [with the Chargers],” Dicker said. “The odds of that are very low.”
