While NFL teams are allowed to practice with regular game balls, a "K" Ball is the term used by special teams for a brand new ball, not used until kickoff - hence the term K-Ball.
The ball kickers and punters use in the NFL.
The K means that all the balls which that particular ball boy has are used for kicking plays.
He is the person who holds the ball for the kickers. They use a separate ball.
No all NFL football games only involve one ball (the game ball) the same is used for blitzs, hale marys, field goals, punts and any other play during the game. During kicks the ball is set on a tee and the ball is also always the same size in all NFL games (Pro size; official NFL ball) *Yes, they use K-balls (unused/new balls, marked with a 'K').
yea, the balls used for special teams have the letter k written on them. The K Ball came to being after many NFL Kickers were having super-natural field goal percentages and making over 90% of their kicks. The NFL and Commissioner deemed it necessary to make it more challenging for kickers, thus the "K Ball" was born. The K Ball, simply stands for 'kickers ball' and it is handled by a special field crew who ensure the ball is inflated to 13 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) which is very compressed and hard. So in cold weather conditions, you can expect the field goal to travel about 5-7 yards less than the normal distance an NFL kicker can kick.
Stands for kicker those ball boys hold the balls for kicking plays
K means it for kicking only. wk. 12 means it for the 12th game of the season, 6 means the 6th ball of the 12 k balls used in the game. K balls are kept by the officials until the game starts to prevent the players from tampering the ball, (microwave, thrown into the hot-tub etc to soften the ball to make it kick farther)
