AnswerYes there is the five yard difference, but the NFL ball also weighs more.AnswerThe guy who left this answer before I completely reconstructed it was an idiot. There is a 5 yard difference between pro and college, and the ball weighs more. But, most college kickers kick it to the middle of the endzone. Most pro kickers kick it to the goal line consistently. I have no idea where you're gtting this 10 yard line stuff from. So it really evens out.
That's where the kicker places the ball for kick offs.
In football, the kick off positions used in a game are the 35-yard line for college football and the 30-yard line for professional football. The team kicking off can choose to kick the ball from the ground or use a kicking tee.

"40 yd line." Wrong - it is the 30 yard line now. HS still uses the 40 but college went to the 30 in 2007.
The kickoff is from the kicking team's 30 yard line making the kickoff travel 70 yards to reach the end zone.
