Former Notre Dame soccer star [autotag]Brandon Aubrey[/autotag] took the NFL by storm last year, as the Dallas Cowboys kicker set multiple records in his first season after trying to follow his initial “football” dreams.
There was an odd situation for the first team All-Pro this week, as he missed practice on Wednesday. It wasn’t due to an injury, instead it was because he had jury duty.
This obviously a bit different, as Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk is reporting that Aubrey insisted on going after the Cowboys did their best to get him out of it.
He is expected to be in court as he sits and weighs the evidence in the felony assault case he was assigned to the next few days. The good news is that the courts will work around his schedule, so Aubrey can perform his civic duty while not missing any time with his team. It is unknown at the moment how long the trial will be.
So far on the year, he’s struggled compared to last year, hitting 8-of-10 field goals while making all seven of his extra points.
