None that I can think of. Dropkicks used to be common when the football was rounder at the ends, providing for a reliable bounce when the ball hit the ground. Now that the modern ball is pointed at each end, it's much more difficult to make a good dropkick, which is why you hardly ever see it anymore.

None that I've ever heard of. Maybe you're thinking of Tom Dempsey, who was born without toes on his kicking foot and had a special shoe made for him. Dempsey is famous for kicking the longest field goal (63 yards) in NFL history.
The last drop kick in the NFL was byDoug Flutie who successfully drop kicked a PAT for the New England Patriots against the Miami Dolphins on January 1, 2006.
Yes. If the team kicking the ball does not kickoff before the play clock has expired.
This young man kicked for the New Orleans Saints in the 1970s. His claim to fame was that he kicked the longest field goal in NFL history up to that time. Tom was born with part of his kicking foot missing. He wore a special shoe that many felt gave him and advantage (flat toe). The was before soccer style kicking became popular in the NFL. Tom Dempsey played 11 seasons between 1969-1979 for the Saints, Eagles, Rams, Oilers, and Bills. As of the 2007 season, he holds the NFL record for longest field goal made at 63 yards (this record has been tied by Jason Elam of the Denver Broncos in 1998). He was born without toes on his right foot, which was his kicking foot, and wore a kicking shoe with a straight 'toe' area. He is currently a school teacher in the suburbs of New Orleans, Louisiana. If you click on the 'Tom Dempsey Shoe' link on this page, you can see a picture of his kicking shoe.
Dropkicks can only be attempted on a play from scrimmage, not on a kicking play that restarts the game.
no
Yes, that is the very definition of a drop kick in every sport that allows it. A drop kick is a type of kick whereby the ball bounces off the ground before kicking it. It is a legal play not only in the NFL but in the CFL, association football (soccer), rugby, Arena football, and Australian rules football.
