In brief
Soccer star Harry Kane says he might try NFL football while playing soccer. Kane hopes to play both soccer and football if he joins MLS and NFL. Originally reported by NBC Sports.
Kane's NFL dream
Harry Kane says he wants to try the NFL as a long-term goal.
“That is something I will try and look at a bit more seriously”
Golf vs football
Kane says football is a more realistic career path than golf.
“The NFL is a lot more realistic than the golf one”
Soccer and football
Kane might play both soccer and football if he joins MLS.
“Maybe if I am in the MLS in the future or somewhere like that it might be a thing where you could connect the two”
Penalty kick skills
Kane believes soccer penalty kicks translate to NFL field goals.
“I take penalties and it is a very similar pressure and technique”
Realistic timeline
Kane says he'd need six to twelve months to practice for NFL football.
“If I was to do it, it is something I would take seriously. I would take six months to a year to try and practice before.”
Unlikely but possible
Kane is 33 and highly unlikely to become an NFL player soon.
“Realistically, the 33-year-old Kane is highly unlikely to take up American football at this point and become good enough to kick in the NFL.”
The key point
Kane hopes to play both soccer and football if he joins MLS and NFL.
