An NFL Team Has Offered USWNT's Carli Lloyd A Chance To Kick In Preseason Game

An NFL Team Has Offered USWNT's Carli Lloyd A Chance To Kick In Preseason Game

After seeing USWNT's Carli Lloyd kick a 55-yard field goal during Eagles practice last week, an NFL Team has reportedly offered her a chance to kick in preseason game. Per Lloyd’s longtime trainer James Galanis...

quote:
“Today, she got another call from another NFL team,” Galanis told me in a telephone conversation on Monday. “The one that called today, I don’t want to say who it is, was willing to put her on the roster for their next (game). They were willing to put her on the roster.”

Galanis continued: “She was told (she could) play on Thursday, the NFL game, but she is playing Thursday with the national team, so that was the conflict.”

I wonder who the team was.

I don't care what they say. This is nothing but an attempted publicity stunt.

*yawn* Let me know when there's a woman who has a legit chance to play a position other than kicker. Otherwise, it's just a gimmick.

They can't. So, it will always be a freaking PR stunt.

All fun and games until she gets run over after a botched/fake FG attempt.

if you are tapping into the soccer market at least go get a guy who can kick it 30 yards past her. This woman might be good but she isn't the best kicker in the world of both sexes.

See above.......this wouldn't be an adequate PR stunt.

This stuff is a stupid publicity stunt. No care.

Stupid...NFL just trying to be politically correct...

On the 55-yard practice kick she needed a 5-step running start. Would take a helluva lot of practice to get the timing down for real game conditions.

this smells like a PR stunt, but if she has a legit leg to kick 55 yarders consistently, I'm fine with giving her a tryout. But I doubt that's the case.

Of course they would. It's the 4th pre-season game, aka the least attended, least watched, least interesting game of the entire season. They just want to get a couple thousand more people into the stadium.

If the NFL wants a stupid "woman in the NFL" stunt atleast get a 21yr old.
