About this episode

Brandon Aubrey discusses his journey from soccer to the NFL and his love for the sport in the context of the World Cup.

Brandon Aubrey is best-known as the highest-paid kicker in NFL history, having signed a four-year $28 million extension with the Dallas Cowboys in April. Yet he entered the NFL as a 28-year-old rookie, having previously been a first-round pick as a center-back in the Major League Soccer Draft for Toronto FC. He sits down with The Athletic's Adam Crafton for the latest in the 'Why I Love The Beautiful Game' World Cup series to discuss his fondness for the sport that nearly shaped his career and how far the USMNT can go in the tournament. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
