Doug Flutie drop kicked a PAT as a backup in New England maybe 12 years ago, somewhere around there. It was the first drop kick PAT in a quite a while, I think. But this was definitely not the first drop kick in the NFL.

They drop kicked often before 1934 when they made the ball more pointed. Before the NFL–AFL merger, the last successful drop kick in the NFL was executed by Scooter McLean of the Chicago Bears in their 37–9 victory over the New York Giants on December 21, 1941, in the NFL Championship game at Chicago's Wrigley Field.
Though it was not part of the NFL at the time, the All-America Football Conference saw its last drop kick November 28, 1948, when Joe Vetrano of the San Francisco 49ers drop kicked an extra point after a muffed snap against the Cleveland Browns.
