Скачать или смотреть The Software Engineer Who Became the Best Kicker in Football

Brandon Aubrey went from a first round MLS draft pick to saving the Dallas Cowboys season as one of the best kickers in the NFL.

The Plano, Texas native starred at Notre Dame, earning All Conference honors before being drafted by Toronto FC in 2017. But he never made their MLS roster and after two years in the USL he was released in 2018, walking away from soccer to become a software engineer.

In 2019, everything changed when Aubrey and his wife Jenn watched an NFL game and saw a kicker miss. Jenn told him he could do that, sparking the idea that launched his second career.

While still working full time, he trained as a kicker, joined the Birmingham Stallions in 2022, and won back to back USFL championships. Dallas took a chance on his raw talent, maturity, and soccer-trained leg, and it paid off.

Now Aubrey is a First Team All Pro, Pro Bowler, and NFL scoring leader, all because of one comment his wife made watching football.
