NFL Hall of Famer and former VP of player personnel Gil Brandt indicated that the Bears should contact Lloyd.
“Frankly, I don’t think it’ll be long before we see a girl burst during the NFL barrier. I would give her an honest tryout if I had been, say, the Bears.”
The Bears have attempted out nine kickers because this 2018 season’s conclusion. 10 field objectives were missed by their kicker past season, cody Parkey, including a in their loss in the NFC Wild Card round from the Eagles along with the team has Eddy Pineiro because their only kicker.
“So many men and women are beginning to think’will there ever be a feminine [participant ] from the NFL?” I believe we’re sort of so far as equality and women empowerment.
I’ve definitely got some enquiries, I’ve definitely got folks talking. Whatever is possible but I’m strictly a football player and we’ll see what the future holds,” Lloyd told Sports Illustrated.
While the Eagles and the Jets visit at MetLife Stadium the US Women’s National Team perform a friendly against Portugal in Philadelphia on Thursday. Can a woman kick in the NFL? Yes, Lloyd clearly has the leg power and many others do too but sadly it will not happen within this preseason.
