Over the last two years no NFL kicker, and few others at any position, can claim to have handled their job better than Brandon Aubrey. The Dallas Cowboys’ sensation enters just his third season as arguably the best kicker in the game, and continuing that level of performance will be crucial for him in the final year of his contract.
It’s an odd thing to talk about a third-year player who’s also 30 years old, but that’s all part of Aubrey’s unique NFL story. He gave up professional soccer in 2018, started working as a software engineer, but then got interested in playing American football.
