Rockford native and former Boylan star kicker Derek Dimke is practicing hard at The Indoor Sports Center in Loves Park in hopes of making his NFL dream come true.

Dimke recently signed a deal to try and become the Jacksonville Jaguars full-time kicker beginning in the spring. He is working out daily at the Indoor Sports Center in hopes of landing his dream job in the NFL.

Watching his video made me appreciate the time and behind practice the average fan never gets to see.

Everyone here at Q98.5 wishes the Dimke family the best of luck and we're cheering for ya Derek.
