After nailing a 55-yard field goal at Eagles practice last week, US women's soccer star Carli Lloyd says she's considering kicking for an NFL team.
Carli Lloyd has nothing left to prove on the soccer pitch, so why not take your talents to the gridiron.
"At first I was just casually doing it, until it blew up, and the more I think about it [and] speak with my husband and people at home, I am actually considering it," she told"GMA.""We’ll see what happens. Like anything, I would want to practice, get the right technique down, the right steps down, so for me I don’t want to go in there blindly. I want to make sure I practice it and just go to a field and attempt it.
"Some of my Sky Blue FC teammates say go for it. I haven’t really spoken to any of my national teammates yet," Lloyd said."I will see them very shorty. My husband, he’s in my corner; friends and family are in all my corner. They all believe I can actually do it and I believe in myself as well."Kicking an oblong football may not seem the same as a round soccer ball, but Lloyd says it's not all that different.
