"Kane: Yeah it's really something that I think I can achieve. I think it would be... Neville: It's mad really, isn't it? Kane: Yeah I just feel like, if I could play in the NFL and do what I've done in football, imagine that as an experience, imagine that as a career, to do two different sports. I mean, I'm not expecting it to be easy. I know a lot of people think I'm just going to turn up and be an NFL kicker."
"Neville: So when's it going to happen? Kane: I guess it depends on my career as well, like I might get to 35 and be like "I've lost interest in that". Maybe in ten, fifteen years time - my late thirties to forties, if I'm still in the shape that I'd like to be in, I guess I'd start practicing nearer the time if it was a serious option. Of course, we're talking about something years down the line. I don't want to say it's definitely going to happen, it's just something in the back of my mind I would love to try and achieve."
Kane expresses a long-standing interest in attempting an NFL kicking career, viewing the role as similar to taking a penalty kick under pressure. He imagines playing in the NFL alongside his football achievements and values the challenge and experience of competing in two sports. He acknowledges the necessity of hard work, practice, and the difficulty of performing under pressure, and believes his experience in high-pressure moments could give him an edge over younger kickers. Kane says the move would depend on his football career and physical condition, possibly occurring in his late thirties or forties, and describes it as a long-term aspiration, not a certainty.
