Footballs are not kicked from a perfect 90 degree angle during a football game on either the kickoff or for a field goal or extra-point. Whether from a tee or being held, a football is leaned back slightly off 90 degrees toward the direction of the kicker. This placement allows greater distance and accuracy.

As the football moves back down, its potential energy is decreasing, but kinetic energy is increasing because there's movement in the football
