Dustin Colquitt, a former Super Bowl-winning punter for the Kansas City Chiefs, has thrown his hat into the ring to train England football captain Harry Kane in the NFL. The idea of Kane, who is known for his clinical finishing on the pitch, potentially making the switch to American Football and becoming a tight end or wide receiver may seem far-fetched, but Colquitt believes he would be "fantastic" in the sport.
Colquitt has expressed interest in coaching Kane and thinks that with some training, the England striker could make a successful transition to the gridiron. The 38-year-old punter is no stranger to competition, having won four Super Bowls during his playing career, so he may have valuable insights on what it takes to succeed at the highest level.
While there are certainly significant physical differences between American Football and English football, Colquitt believes that Kane's athleticism and work rate would be assets in a different sport. "He's got all the qualities you need to be a tight end or wide receiver," Colquitt said in an interview. "The size, the speed, the agility - he'd fit right in."
Kane has not publicly ruled out the possibility of pursuing a career in American Football, but it remains to be seen whether he would actually make the switch. Nevertheless, with Colquitt's guidance and expertise, there may be hope that the England captain could unlock his full potential on the gridiron.
It is worth noting that while Kane has been involved in various charity football matches and celebrity games, this is the first time a high-profile athlete like him has expressed interest in pursuing an NFL career. The idea of one of the world's top strikers trading in his boots for cleats is certainly intriguing, but only time will tell if it could be a reality.
