England Soccer Great Harry Kane Muses on Future Double Duty Playing in Both NFL and MLS
- On Wednesday at St George's Park, England captain Harry Kane told reporters he will "try and look at a bit more seriously" at becoming an NFL kicker, floating the idea of combining an NFL career with Major League Soccer.
- Kane's rekindled interest follows years of expressed desire to kick in the NFL—he told Good Morning America in 2023 that he has "been following for about 10 years now" and it remains "always something that's in the back of my mind."
- The striker believes his penalty-kicking expertise transfers directly to NFL placekicking, stating "I take penalties and it is a very similar pressure, technique" and committing to "six months to a year of trying to practice before" attempting a transition.
- Kane clarified he has not been approached by any NFL franchise and would not consider such a move "anytime soon," emphasizing his current focus is maximizing his remaining soccer years over the next five or six years.
- Dallas Cowboys All-Pro Brandon Aubrey's successful 2023 transition to the NFL provides a blueprint after signing a four-year, $28 million contract, while MLS's 2027 calendar shift toward fall-to-spring play could facilitate the dual-sport arrangement Kane described.
