Rutgers soccer legend Carli Lloyd tries to out-kick Houston Texans' Vince Wilfork

Then again, Lloyd might be ready to kick for the Houston Texans or another NFL team right about now.

Arguably the biggest star in women's soccer, Lloyd has basked in the national spotlight since her improbable hat trick in the first 16 minutes of the United States' 5-2 triumph over Japan in the World Cup final in July.
