Charlie Smyth: GAA goalkeeper ready to show he can be NFL starting kicker for New Orleans Saints


Charlie Smyth has signed a three-year deal as a kicker with the New Orleans Saints as part of the NFL's International Player Pathway program; the Gaelic footballer follows the same path as former Wales rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit Not many people can say have given up playing Gaelic football and working as a primary school teacher to join the NFL, but that is the story of Charlie Smyth.


 


Down goalkeeper Smyth has signed a three-year deal with the New Orleans Saints as a kicker as part of the NFL's International Player Pathway program, the 22-year-old becoming the first Irishman to gain his spot through the IPP. Having played Gaelic football all his life and being an NFL fan over the last eight years, Smyth sent an email to the NFL back he was 18 to try and show off his skill set.


 


He now has his chance with the Saints and believes he can show he is a worthy starting kicker.
