Las Vegas: Canterbury super boot Matt Burton is open to chasing a career in the NFL as a punter, saying: "I feel like I could definitely crack it if I was to come over here."

Burton made headlines last week when he kicked a ball into the roof of the Las Vegas Raiders' indoor training facility.

Raiders' NFL players watched the video footage and were quick to point out that it was not a regular occurrence.

"If he wanted to get into this sport, it would be a great story. If he wanted to come over here, someone is going to give him a chance," Raiders guard Caleb Rogers said.
