In what has become like script from a movie, former Notre Dame soccer star [autotag]Brandon Aubrey[/autotag] went from believing his career was over as a professional athlete, only to pick up kicking and finding his way to the NFL.
The Dallas Cowboys All-Pro place kicker took the league by storm last year, as the rookie made 44-of-46 attempts, setting multiple records along the way. Aubrey made his first 19 field goals, an NFL record, while his two field goals of 59-plus yards in one game was also put him into the books.
It’s hard to imagine this kind of success from someone who at one point was a software engineer. As part of Amazon’s broadcast, Taylor Rooks moderated Aubrey through his journey from a first round pick to using his degree, being pushed by his wife Jenn to try out kicking.
The story is one of belief from a loved one, pushing each other to be their best.
