The NFL record for longest field goal is 63 yards and the NCAA record for longest field goal is 67 yards. Unless a hurricane force wind is behind the kicker, a 100 yard field goal would be pretty much impossible.
The kicker on field goals is rushed and only has 3 yards to run up and kick the ball. On the other hand the kicker on Kickoffs has whatever is comfortable yards for them.
In modern NFL era, the shortest field goal could only be 17 yards. The Goal Post is 10 yards deep in the end zone and the holder is 7 yards from the Line of scrimmage. So if a team kicked from the goal line, the kick would be from 17 yards out.
A field goal is measured from where the ball is kicked from, not from the line of scrimmage. If Team A is kicking a field goal from the 20 yard line, the distance of the field goal would me measured as follows: Length to Goal Line: 20 Yards Length of Endzone: 10 Yards Place of Kick: 7 yards behind the line of scrimmage (typically kicks made from 6 to 7 yards behind the los) Total Distance of Field Goal: 37 yards.
David Akers longest successful field goal went bouncing in the uprights 63 yards against the Packers in Week 1 of the 2012 season tying the NFL field goal record.
