David Beckham is known for his soccer-kicker prowess, so why couldn't he do it in the NFL? One unnamed team did in fact give the soccer god an opportunity to try out, according to the Daily Mirror. The offer came while Beckham was still in the USA with the LA Galaxy. At the time, he was still deciding what he was going to do with his career, before accepting a deal to play with Paris Saint Germaine in Europe. "A couple of scouts felt that David has the potential to become a kicker in the NFL team, and one actually put a call into him for a trial," a source told the Mirror. “It was obvious too that if Becks took up the offer then any NFL franchise would be interested as his international appeal would generate billions in PR and commercial opportunities.” For those of you wondering, Beckham ended up declining the offer. "The offer came in and he politely said that it wasn’t right for him. Perhaps in the next few months he could change his mind," the source said. Questions? Comments?
