Jags kicker Cam Little outlines challenges Harry Kane would face to achieve NFL dream
LONDON (AP) — Cam Little is confident Harry Kane has the skill to become an NFL kicker.But the hard part for Kane, the Jacksonville Jaguars kicker said, would be shifting from star striker to bit player.
Cam Little, the Jacksonville Jaguars kicker and soccer player, believes that Harry Kane has the required skill to transition to the NFL, but the biggest challenge would be the cultural shift. Kane, the England captain and Bayern Munich forward, has expressed interest in playing in the NFL and even considering a move to a Major League Soccer team.
Little, who holds the record for the longest NFL field goal at 68 yards, explained to The Associated Press that the transition from soccer to football is more about the cultural aspect than the technical skills. He compared the challenge to Kane having to focus on five set pieces a day, adding that it would be a different mental challenge from soccer.
Little praised Kane's talents, stating that he has the ability to do it, but the transition would be culturally demanding. Both the Jaguars and Little remained in London to prepare for their upcoming match against the Houston Texans at Wembley Stadium.
