Harry Kane Is Kicking At Gillette Today And Brandon Aubrey Knows What Comes Next

Alright, listen up, Emerald City! You won't believe what's happening on the gridiron side of the pond. Harry Kane, the absolute legend of English soccer, is making his debut at Gillette Stadium today, and it's got real implications for the NFL. This isn't just some celeb showing up; this man is a die-hard NFL fan, and his journey into the sport started with none other than the GOAT, Tom Brady himself. For a guy who's been dreaming of the NFL for years, this is a massive moment.

How Tom Brady Sparked Kane's Gridiron Dreams

Kane, now 32 and still tearing it up as an England striker, caught the NFL bug way back when. "It was mainly the NFL that I got into at quite a young age," he spilled recently. And who lit that fire? Brady. "My love for that started from him." It clicked for Kane in 2011 after watching "The Brady 6" documentary. He totally related to how Brady was overlooked by the league early on. You know that feeling, right? When folks doubt you? Kane did too. He said, "Seeing the way he went about his business, his journey from the start , when people didn’t expect much from him , to go on and be the greatest ever player in his sport is maybe reminiscent of me earlier in my career, having people doubt me and working hard enough to turn that around." That's the kind of grit we respect. So, it’s no shocker he's been buzzing about today’s match at Gillette, Brady’s old stomping

Kicking It In The NFL: A Real Possibility?

But here’s the kicker, literally. Kane isn't just a fan; he's got a serious, lingering desire to try his hand in the NFL as, wait for it, a kicker. Think about that for a second! And it's not just a pipe dream. Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey isn't ruling it out. "It’s definitely possible," Aubrey admitted. He knows the grind, though: "It’s just there’s only 32 jobs. So even if you have the ability, it’s trying to get somebody to give you an opportunity. That’s what took me the longest." Aubrey, who’s seen a thing or two, believes Kane’s soccer skills could translate. "If you strike a soccer ball a million times, it’s going to translate to striking a football. You have got to figure out where to hit the football and how to shape your foot. The mental aspect of taking a set piece or a penalty is very similar to taking a field goal." Kane’s been on an NFL venue tour, hitting AT&T Stadium last week, Gillette today, and MetLife Stadium on Saturday. He’s getting a real taste of the league. For now, Kane is all about soccer. But with these high-profile visits to NFL stadiums, you gotta wonder if he’s getting serious about snagging one of those rare kicking jobs. Is the NFL ready for a soccer legend to join their ranks? We’ll be watching. Next up for Kane is MetLife Stadium on Saturday. Who knows what that visit will spark?
