If he changed a few letters around so his name was Jock Laker, than he'd definitely be destined for greatness.

A 20 yard PAT and a 35 yard FG are different kicks. On the 20 yard kick the kicker has the luxury of putting some air under the ball, whereas from a greater distance he has to keep the trajectory lower to get the distance. 15 yards might not seem like a big deal, but it's an extra 87.5% of distance. I might be able to kick a ball 20 yards through uprights if I have a running start at it. I probably can't do it from 35 yards.
