This Man Can Kick Like A Million Bucks Retail Store Manager Collects For 35-Yard Boot At Pro Bowl

A hardware store manager from Cleveland, Tenn., focused on his mechanics and drilled a 35-yard field goal Sunday to earn $1 million.

Dennis Crawford split the uprights with plenty to spare in the “Hershey’s $1 Million Kick” at halftime of the Pro Bowl.

He was immediately mobbed by players, his wife and 3-year-old daughter.

“I really didn’t hear the crowd,” the 32-year-old former high school punter said. “I just focused on the uprights. As far as it went through, I stopped looking after that.”

Crawford couldn’t see anything after being mobbed and then being handed a giant cardboard check for $1 million.

He was one of four finalists selected randomly from more than a half-million entries in the contest. He won a Jan. 20 kickoff in Miami by hitting field goals of 10, 20 and 30 yards.

Before taking the field at halftime Sunday, Crawford got some advice from Detroit Lions kicker Jason Hanson, who told him to just focus on his kick.

“I was just worrying about shanking it,” Crawford said. “I thought I’d be nervous the whole time.”
