‘It’s a huge advantage’: Could soccer skills help decide the Super Bowl?

Harrison Butker, who will kick for the Chiefs in the Super Bowl, has said soccer helped him in American football. He is far from alone in the NFL

On Sunday in Las Vegas, Harrison Butker will suit up alongside Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Co in Super Bowl LVIII and attempt to claim a third championship in five years for the Kansas City Chiefs.

And if the 28-year-old kicker is as accurate in this Super Bowl as he was in his previous three - in which he has made a combined five out of six field goals, including the game-winner in last year's edition - his success, he believes, will in part be due to his past as a high-school soccer standout.
