From espn.com

version of a place kick or extra point. The drop kick remains in the NFL's official rule book, even though it hadn't been successfully converted in decades. Rule 3, Section 8 defines the drop kick as "a kick by a kicker who drops the ball and kicks it as, or immediately after, it touches the ground."

Hadn’t seen it eons

Doug Flutie did it in 2006 for the Patriots for a PAT.

Waverly's backup kicker has attempted 2 drop kicks PATs (failed) this season during mop up duty. He is the starting holder and is a lefty kicker and Waverly has not really trained another holder to hold for him so he attempts drop kicks. He made a successful drop kick PAT in a JV game 2 years ago.

Probably not well versed or even aware of the rule and therefore the confusion. Similar to a free kick after fair catch. Both things in the rules that are seldom if ever seen.
