U.S. soccer legend Carli Lloyd was invited this week to kick in an NFL preseason game after nailing a 55-yard field goal last week
Carli Lloyd, future NFL kicker? Photo: Franck Fife/AFP/Getty Images Last week, U.S. soccer legend Carli Lloyd visited the Philadelphia Eagles training camp and nailed a 55-yard field goal. The lifelong Eagles fan and two-time World Cup champion didn’t think much of it at the time — “I could not believe the attention on social media,” she later said — but at least one NFL general manager did.
Even if she hadn’t had a conflict, Galanis said he’s not sure Lloyd would have accepted without much time to prepare. “Knowing Carli, I don’t think she would just hop on and do it,” he said. “She would need a couple of weeks training just to get comfortable and acclimatized. But things have escalated and it is real.”
