For skill position players, overpowered abilities like teleportation or flight are likely top contenders for improving a team's odds of winning. However, Swantavius King is a placekicker, so typical S-tier superpowers aren't likely to help him improve at his job. Assuming King still needs to perform the act of kicking the football, it makes sense to focus on a power that will either improve his accuracy or distance. Fortunately, we need look no further than the list of traits available to kickers for ideas! The two that qualify as 'superpowers' are Laser Sights and Bionic Leg. While Laser Sights might look cool as King prepares for field goal attempts, it's hard to tell how this would actually impact his performance. So we will go with the natural choice, Bionic Leg! Presumably, this leg has the effect of making kicks possible from any distance on the field. However, the accuracy will naturally suffer as a result, so I think this implementation would lead to some interesting tactical decisions. If you go three and out on your opening drive, would you rather attempt a somewhat feasible 90-yard field goal and risk giving your opponent incredible field position or guarantee a booming punt to change the field position?
