Eli Manning Backs Harry Kane as Potential NFL Kicker

Kane remains Bayern’s prolific striker with no plan to change sports.

Overview

  • At a Munich media event on Sept. 26, the former New York Giants quarterback said Kane could succeed as a kicker, according to German reports from Stern, Bild and Sport1.
  • Manning joked that the Giants would welcome Kane as their kicker and invited him to consider the NFL.
  • The suggestion aligns with Kane’s spring remarks that an NFL role is a post‑career possibility he might explore near retirement.
  • Bayern coach Vincent Kompany and sporting director Max Eberl praised Kane’s leadership and form and emphasized the club’s intention to keep winning with him.
  • Kane has 13 goals in seven competitive games this season, and reports of an exit clause in his 2027 contract remain unconfirmed as Bayern focus on retaining him long term.
