This hit is as legal as it gets. The kicker was going to try to make a play ( I'm assuming he would tell him a joke or bite him or something, tackling was never an option). But the hit was with the shoulder and he got in front.

No player shall target and initiate contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent with the helmet, forearm, fist, elbow or shoulder. When in question, it is a foul. (Rule 2-27-14)

Contact to the head or neck area—not only with the helmet, but also with the forearm, fist, elbow, or shoulder—these can all lead to a foul.

Defenseless player—a player not in position to defend himself.
