England Soccer Great Harry Kane Muses on Future Double Duty Playing in Both NFL and MLS
Kane said he could pursue the switch after soccer, and he would consider training for six months to a year before trying.
- 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.

- 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.
