Are footballs usually kicked from a 90 degree angle in a football game?

Footballs are not kicked from a perfect 90 degree angle during a football game on either the kickoff or for a field goal or extra-point. Whether from a tee or being held, a football is leaned back slightly off 90 degrees toward the direction of the kicker. This placement allows greater distance and accuracy.
