(CNN) USWNT star Carli Lloyd is "seriously considering" kicking in the NFL after nailing a 55-year field goal at a Philadelphia Eagles practice last week.

Lloyd was offered the chance to participate with two different teams in NFL preseason games this week, her coach James Galanis told CNN.

"She declined because she is playing with the USA women's national team on Thursday but is seriously considering a future in the NFL," he said.

Galanis said the 37-year-old player has had conversations with a head coach and a general manager from two different teams in the league.

"(She is) seriously considering it," Galanis said. "It would be a great opportunity for her as she loves challenges. Not to mention the impact it will have on (women) across the world."
