For a lot of reasons really. For one, you have to time the snap count perfectly or you are going to be offsides. The fact that kam did that twice is incredible. Two, you have to have a huge vertical jump ability as leaping over a huge lineman without touching them (touching or landing on them would draw a penalty) while wearing all your football gear is very difficult. Probably only a handful of nfl players that could even do it. Then there is also the problem of not having a lot of time to stop yourself from running into the kicker, which is another penalty.
