Lost for words. Charlie Smyth. Now of the @Saints I first met Charlie 6 months ago. He and his family put their trust in me. Then we embarked on a journey into the unknown. From 🇮🇪 to the NFL Thanks to Charlie’s talent and work ethic, we found a way! Who’s next!?

How do you go from NEVER having kicked an American Football, to inside a year having your first ever kick be in a @NFL game, for the win? Sounds impossible. Charlie Smyth 🇮🇪 of @Saints showed it’s possible. How he did it in the comments below + vids. #leaderkicking #NFLIPP

1️⃣ year ago I took the leap into the unknown and decided to explore the world of American Football. It’s been a life changing journey and one I plan to continue in 2022! *Please feel free to RT/Share as I’m without an agent so any exposure is appreciated! #NFL #CFL #usfl
