SAN DIEGO — Just call him “Kickalicious.”

That’s what coaches with the Detroit Lions did after they couldn’t pronounce Havard Rugland’s name during a tryout earlier this week.

Rugland is the Norwegian Internet kicking sensation who hopes to parlay his incredible trick-shot video — which he called “Kickalicious” — into a dream job kicking for an NFL team.

Rugland feels his tryout in Detroit went well, despite tweaking the hamstring in his powerful left leg. He’s refined his kicking motion while working with Husted in San Diego since having a tryout with the New York Jets in December.

“I think the thing they liked most was my leg strength,” said Rugland, who is 6-foot-2 ½ and 240 pounds. “That’s always good.”

While Rugland works to learn a sport he became familiar with only about two years ago by watching the Super Bowl on TV, NFL personnel are learning about Rugland. His first name is pronounced HO-var.

“They tried to pronounce my name but just went with `Kickalicious,’ Rugland said.

The video of the same name has amassed more than 2.5 million views since Rugland posted it in September. It shows the former soccer player kicking and punting a football through uprights from as far away as 60 yards, from straight on and also from incredible angles. He also kicks a ball to a friend on a boat on a lake, in a moving car, on a skateboard, on a railroad bridge, on a hill, on a bluff overlooking a beach and over trees.
