Jags kicker says Kane has skill but faces cultural shift

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 16 Oct, 12:32 · Archive

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little says Harry Kane has the technical ability to become an NFL kicker but would struggle with the mental transition.

Cam Little, kicker for the Jacksonville Jaguars, believes England captain Harry Kane possesses the technical ability to become an NFL kicker. However, Little cautioned that the real challenge would be cultural rather than skill-based, as Kane would need to adapt from being a central figure in matches to a sideline role.

Kane, who plays as a striker for Bayern Munich, has previously mused about pursuing an NFL kicking career. He recently floated the idea of combining an NFL goal with joining a Major League Soccer team. Little, a former soccer player himself, offered insights into what the transition would entail.

'I think the transition from soccer to football is so much more cultural than like the actual skill,' Little said. He described the mental challenge of shifting from being involved throughout a 90-minute match to 'sitting there on the sidelines the whole game'. Kane would lose the prominence he enjoys as a star striker and would have to 'let everyone else do the big man's job'. Little acknowledged Kane's technical qualities, noting 'His technique in soccer is so good', but emphasised that the mental demands of the position would be substantial.
