Summary
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.
