England captain Harry Kane hints at end of career change after NFL claim

England football captain Harry Kane has hinted at the possibility of retiring from professional football and transitioning to a career in American football, specifically the NFL. The primary reason for this potential change is the NFL's perceived realism compared to pursuing a golf career, a field Kane has previously shown interest in.

While no concrete plans have been discussed for a move to the NFL, Kane is considering the move more seriously in the next five to six years as his football career progresses. He also mentioned the potential overlap of football and NFL schedules, suggesting that it might be possible to play both sports concurrently. Kane's familiarity with penalty taking, a skill required in NFL kicking, could serve as a bridge between the two sports. However, he acknowledges that becoming an elite NFL kicker would necessitate extensive preparation.
