Dustin Colquitt emulated his father Craig by not simply changing into an NFL punter however a Tremendous Bowl champion, with the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs in 2020.
Colquitt spent 15 seasons with the Chiefs, setting the franchise document for many video games (238), however he grew up dreaming of enjoying within the Premier League.
He performed soccer at highschool, incomes school scholarship affords, and stays an enormous soccer fan.
He remembers cheering on Kane throughout World Cup video games and, requested if the ex-Tottenham striker may develop into an NFL kicker, Colquitt instructed BBC Sport: “Completely, if he targeted on it. He would do improbable. I’ve seen a few of his ending abilities.
“I might love to really work with him simply because I really like soccer, and his pleasure. He is in search of this out – that is a part of the fibre of his being, that he needs to do this NFL factor.”
Virtually at all times, a crew’s punter holds the ball in place for kickers. As Colquitt places it, a punter “holds the kicker’s job actually in his fingers” and “you probably have a nasty maintain, actually unhealthy issues occur”.
So if and when Kane begins to practise kicking, he wants an skilled holder, in any other case his bid to develop into a two-sport athlete may very well be over earlier than it has really begun.
“The man that holds for these area objectives, that’s extraordinarily vital – understanding the place the laces [on the ball] are, if you happen to’ve bought wind,” Colquitt mentioned.
“So when he is prepared, I am prepared.”
